Skin Cancer Awareness: Understanding, Identifying, Preventing & Treating

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States, with an estimated 9,500 patients diagnosed daily, and is caused by excessive exposure to harmful UV rays. Although lighter skin colors are more prone to skin cancer, all skin colors can develop skin cancer. Fortunately, skin cancer is typically curable when it’s found and treated early.

The secret to these secrets is that they’re not really secrets! These are tips that just about any dermatologist will offer to their patients who are looking for ways to have healthier skin.

Apply sunscreen (one that is SPF 30 or higher, is water resistant, and has broad coverage ) anytime you go outside.
No smoking. Smoking can worsen some skin conditions and make your skin age faster.
Make sure you are checking your skin to be aware of any changes that might be happening.
If you’re looking for sun-kissed skin, use a self-tanner instead of the sun itself.
Find skin care products that meet your specific needs!
Don’t scrub your face. This can irritate your skin, making your skin issues worse.
Make sure you are washing your face with a gentle cleanser before bed, when you wake in the morning, and after sweating.
Be gentle when you wash your face. Your skin is delicate and will thank you for it.
Stress less. Stress can exacerbate any skin conditions you may already have or cause them to appear.
Visit a dermatologist. We can help.
