The importance of checking your skin! Skin cancer is on the rise!
It is projected that there will be nearly 4 million new cases of non-melanoma skin cancer diagnosed this year in the U.S., which is on the rise. Additionally the incidence of melanoma in situ continues to increase with an estimated 56,000 to be newly diagnosed in 2012.
To combat the damage done to your skin in your younger years and to halt the development of skin cancer, it’s important to wear a daily sunscreen and use a medical grade antioxidant. Daily. Sunscreen. These two items are your primary agents in the war against skin cancer. And most importantly, check your skin regularly for any changing spots or sites, and make at least a yearly appointment with your board-certified physician. Early detection and daily sun protection are your best bet!
