Protecting Your Skin
Skin health starts with prevention. Everyone is at risk for skin cancer, but you can lower your risk with simple steps:
- Limit sun exposure: Stay in the shade between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM
- Cover up: Wear long sleeves, pants, and a wide-brimmed hat
- Use sunscreen: Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Apply daily and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating
- Skip tanning beds: They increase your risk of skin cancer
When to See a Dermatologist
Check your skin regularly. If you notice anything that is changing, growing, itching, or bleeding, it’s time to see a dermatologist. Early diagnosis makes treatment easier and more effective.
Use the A-B-C-D-E rule to watch for melanoma warning signs:
A – Asymmetry: One half doesn’t match the other
B – Border: Edges are uneven or notched
C – Color: Multiple colors or unusual shades
D – Diameter: Larger than ¼ inch (about the size of a pencil eraser)
E – Evolving: Any change in size, shape, color, or texture
