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
