Skin cancer is characterized by uncontrolled growth of skin cells, which can damage the surrounding tissue and can spread to other parts of the body. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancer. UV rays can damage the DNA that makes up genes. Chemicals, sunlight together with viruses are also other causative factors from outside the body. Health workers play an important role in providing education related to the health of the people of West Nusa Tenggara. Lack of public knowledge about the main causes of skin cancer, signs and symptoms, and how to prevent it, is the responsibility of health workers, to reduce the mortality rate caused by malignancy. The approach steps taken in this program are counseling or providing education to visitors to the skin and genital polyclinic at the Mataram University Hospital. Community service was carried out in the hall of UNRAM Hospital and Dermatology and Venereology Clinic of UNRAM Hospital by distributing flyers and also providing education through counseling about the importance of Skin Care. There were 12 participants and 13 patients visiting the skin and sex polyclinic at UNRAM Hospital. Before being given education, participants were asked to fill out a knowledge questionnaire about Ca Skin. Of the questionnaires given 22 people have less knowledge about the risk factors for skin cancer, signs and symptoms of skin cancer and what to do when it occurs. 3 other people know the risk factors for skin cavities and their signs and symptoms.
Kanker adalah salah satu penyebab dari kematian, keganasan kepala dan leher yang paling sering terjadi adalah karsinoma nasofaring.

Metode Pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah dengan: memberikan pengarahan oleh paramedis di Desa Binaan Kabupaten Lombok Utara bahwa akan dilakukan pengabdian berupa edukasi dan disepakati kapan dapat dilakukan. Masyarakat Desa Binaan Kabupaten Lombok Utara dikumpulkan pada waktu yang bersamaan dengan para medis dibawah pengawasan dokter spesialis Telinga Hidung dan Tenggorokkan Kepala Leher. Pengabdian Masyarakat mengenai tanda dan gejala Nasopharyngeal cancer pada kelompok beresiko amatlah penting, agar masyarakat dapat mengetahui tanda dan gejala serta faktor – faktor penyebab Nasopharyngeal cancer. Perlu dilakukan pengabdian secara berkala dan juga pemeriksaan Telinga Hidung dan Tenggorokan pada masyarakat yang memiliki faktor risiko seperti masyarakat di Desa Binaan Gumantar yang permukimannya dekat dengan tambak dan sering mengkonsumsi ikan asin.
Hand hygiene performed by health workers has an important role in preventing infection and virus transmission. Unfortunately, frequent hand hygiene measures can cause various changes in skin texture, ranging from the development of skin xerosis (dry skin) to irritant contact dermatitis (DKI) or, even, allergic contact dermatitis (DKA). Research at one of the COVID-19 referral type B hospitals in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara showed a significant relationship between knowledge, attitudes and behavior towards the incidence of hand dermatitis in health workers working at the hospital. Although it does not cause death, the increasing incidence of hand dermatitis will reduce the productivity, performance and quality of life of sufferers. Therefore, we will provide education in the form of providing counseling as well as identifying the determinants of knowledge, attitudes and behavior of health workers in the outpatient unit of UNRAM Hospital on the prevention and treatment of hand dermatitis due to hand hygiene measures The approach steps taken in this program are counseling or providing education to visitors to the skin and genital polyclinic at the Mataram University Hospital. In 12 respondents there were 6 (50%) respondents experienced hand dermatitis and 6 (50%) respondents did not experience hand dermatitis. Knowledge and behavior of health workers at the Mataram University Hospital regarding hand hygiene are not related to the incidence of hand dermatitis.
