Now that we have explored the risks of skin cancer and the ways in which sun exposure damages the skin, it’s a great time to learn more about prevention. The good news is, sun safe behaviors work. Good sun protection practices reduce radiation damage to the skin, therefore reducing the risk of skin cancer, as well as reducing photoaging in the form of wrinkles and brown spots. To be most effective, sun safety should be practiced year round, at all ages. It’s never too early or late to start good sun safe habits.

In my third blog of the series, I cover sun safety, sunscreen, supplements and much more. Please use the link in our bio get in depth information on the best ways to protect yourself and the health of your skin.

Skin cancer detection and prevention is my passion and my life’s work. The opportunity to educate my patients about skin cancer and sun safety is one of the best parts of my job.

In the second segment of our Skin Cancer Awareness Month series, we’ll explore in some detail the mechanisms by which sunlight damages the skin and causes skin cancer. Most people know excessive sun exposure causes sunburn and tan in the short term, and photoaging and skin cancer in the long run. Understanding on a molecular level what is going on may help us establish the importance of protecting our skin from the harmful effects of sun exposure, and therefore add motivation.

Sunlight, although it feels warm and pleasant on the skin, is radiation, and as such is well documented to cause skin cancer. Being active outdoors is a healthy lifestyle for all ages, but this should be combined with robust sun protection measures. The effects of UV exposure accumulate over one’s lifetime, with increasing exposure resulting in increased risk. It’s never too late to reduce your risk.

For more thorough education on this topic, please use our link above to visit the most recent blog on how UV causes skin cancer.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness month, an entire month dedicated to educating the public about the most common type of cancer, its impact, identification and prevention. As a dermatologist, I am passionate about educating patients about this important subject that is close to my heart and is my life’s work. Every day in my clinic I diagnose and treat skin cancer, educate patients about sun safety, and do preventative screenings. I find the better educated we all are, the better prepared we are to take the best care of our own skin. Your partnership is essential in preventing and diagnosing your possible skin cancer. No one ever thinks they’ll get skin cancer, but the incidence is on the rise, and it can affect anyone of almost any age, any skin type, and without any specific risk factors. I tell my patients the only risk factor you need for skin cancer is having skin. So learn what you can about skin cancer, learn to identify it, partner with your dermatologist, and take your responsibility to your own skin seriously. Together we can reduce the impact of skin cancer.

For the first of three articles addressing skin cancer this month, I will discuss a general overview of skin cancer, identification, and prevention. If you only read one blog I ever write, this should be it. In the second article I will nerd out about the science of how ultraviolet radiation (sun and sun lamps) cause skin cancer and other damage to the skin. In the third article I will go into depth about sunscreen and other prevention.

These blogs will available on our link above, please visit them throughout this series of education during Skin Cancer Awareness Month!

Each year the month of May is designated National Skin Cancer and Melanoma Awareness Month! With over 5 million cases diagnosed in the United States each year, skin cancer is America’s most common cancer. Fortunately, skin cancer is also one of the most preventable! ⁣

With warmer weather heading our way, time outdoors will increase, & so should our measures in sun protection.There are many simple & effective ways to reduce your risk. ⁣
⁣
1. COVER UP! Sun protective clothing, hats & sunglasses are all essential in your days at the beach, on the golf course & casual strolls while out walking the dog. If you must be outside, find shaded areas or take cover under your umbrella! ⁣
⁣
2. WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN EVERY DAY! Select a high SPF, primarily mineral sunscreen for the best protection. Reapplication should be every 90-120 minutes & should always take place after swimming or sweating.
⁣
3. TAKE SUPPLEMENTS! Both SUNISDIN & HELIOCARE contain Polypodium leucotomos, a natural substance with photoprotective properties. When taken regularly, it’s known to reduce skin cancer risk as well as reduce the visible signs of sun damage. ⁣
⁣
4. STAY AWAY FROM TANNING BEDS! Indoor tanning is extremely damaging to your skin & just one use increases your risk of melanoma by 75%! ⁣
⁣
5. GET YOUR ANNUAL SKIN CHECK! The skin cancer foundation recommends an annual exam with a dermatologist for all adults and more often with high risk factors. Not only will your skin be examined, but your Dermatologist will also educate you, so that you can continue monthly monitoring as your own skin’s expert throughout the year! ⁣
⁣
Through the month of May, we will continue to provide education as well as support the use of everyday sun protection.
