Summer has arrived! It is an open invitation to enjoy the Sun and all the fun it offers. Before you hit the park or the beach, remember these vital sun safety tips:
According to the National Cancer Institute, one million people are diagnosed with skin cancer annually. Over 60% with dark skin tones don’t apply sunscreen because they feel it is not needed. Sadly, this increases their risk of developing melanoma, a dangerous form of skin cancer.
Skin cancer can look different on different skin types. Often doctors don’t consider skin cancer when treating people of color. Common sites for skin cancer in people of color include the soles of the feet, palms of the hands and underneath fingernails and toenails.
See a dermatologist when you notice new moles, a sore that will not heal, or other skin changes.
Choose a more natural approach to well-being with help from a specialist that cares about your health.
