There are two main types: noninflammatory and inflammatory. Noninflammatory acne includes whiteheads and blackheads, while inflammatory acne presents as red, swollen bumps like papules and pustules. Hormonal changes, stress, and genetics can trigger acne.

Remember, treatment options vary from person to person, so consulting a dermatologist is crucial for personalized care.

This Memorial Day, as we honor the brave souls who gave everything for our freedom, it's important to also educate on melanoma risk for veterans. Depending on the environment and role of soldiers, they can be at a higher risk for advanced stage melanoma. This risk is a result of sun exposure, geographical deployments, occupational hazards, lack of sun protection resources, and delayed or limited access to healthcare. If you or a loved one is actively serving in the military or a veteran, we encourage you to keep an eye on skin changes and be seen annually for a skin cancer exam.

Rare Fact: Melanoma can develop in the eyes. 👁️ Yes, you read that right! Ocular melanoma is a rare but serious form of eye cancer that can affect the iris, retina, or other parts of the eye. Regular eye exams can help detect signs of ocular melanoma early.

Early detection starts with you! Being mindful of the changes on your skin is the first step in catching skin cancer before it can further develop. Learn how to perform a self skin check at home in today's blog: https://bit.ly/3UMxWTC

Myth: Skin cancer only affects older adults. 👴🏽👵🏻 False! While age is a risk factor for skin cancer, it can affect people of all ages, including children and young adults. Teach your kids sun safety habits early to reduce their risk of developing skin cancer later in life.

Myth: Only fair-skinned people get skin cancer. 🚫 Myth Buster Alert! Skin cancer doesn't discriminate based on skin color. People of all ethnicities can develop melanoma and other forms of skin cancer. Everyone needs to prioritize sun protection and regular skin checks!

Knowledge is power 🧠 Melanoma can be deadly if not detected early and, for many, can come as a surprise diagnosis. Learn everything you need to know about Melanoma in today's blog: https://bit.ly/4blBTUB

Myth: Tanning beds are safer than the sun. 🛌 Think again! Indoor tanning exposes your skin to harmful UV rays, increasing your risk of melanoma and other skin cancers. Skip the tanning bed and opt for safer alternatives like self-tanners or bronzing lotions.

Myth: Once you've had skin cancer, you can't get it again. 🔄 Think again! Having a history of skin cancer increases your risk of developing another skin cancer in the future. Stay vigilant with sun protection and regular skin checks, even after successful treatment.

Skin cancer is not a single type of cancer. It can occur in a variety of types, some rarer than others, including Merkel cell carcinoma which claimed the life of legendary Jimmy Buffett in 2023. Learn more about Merkel cell carcinoma in today's blog: https://bit.ly/3WlL9Ux
