Skin Cancer Prevention Month

Do you know what your largest organ is? No, it’s not your intestines or your lungs. Believe it or not, it’s actually your skin. Despite this, many people forget about their skin when it comes to personal maintenance.

Perhaps it’s not surprising, then, that skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States, affecting 1 in 5 Americans. The good news is that it’s also very curable. In fact, skin cancer can almost always be cured when found and treated early. That’s why taking preventive measures is so important.

Speak with your doctor or dermatologist about a skin care regimen that’s right for you. Simply applying sunscreen daily may be enough to reduce your risk. For more information about skin health, visit www.aad.org.
