Skin Cancer Prevention [Link under comments]
-Skin cancer can develop as a result of sun exposure — either through chronic, long-term exposure leading to non-melanoma skin cancers (such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma), or through repeated intense UV exposure, which increases the risk of melanoma. Even before cancer appears, sun damage can cause premature skin aging and precancerous changes. Prevention relies on smart sun habits combined with regular and correct sunscreen use.

In this video, dermatologists explain practical, evidence-based strategies to protect your skin and lower your risk of skin cancer.

You’ll learn how to:
☂️ Reduce sun exposure by seeking shade and understanding reflection from water, sand, and snow
👒 Choose protective clothing and wear a wide-brimmed hat
🧴 Apply sunscreen correctly and consistently
💊 Maintain healthy vitamin D levels safely
🌞 Use self-tanners instead of UV exposure
🚫 Avoid tanning beds
🔍 Detect skin cancer early through regular skin checks

These dermatologist-backed recommendations can help protect your skin, slow sun-related aging, and support early detection of skin cancer.
