It's time for another "A Word From Your Derm"!

“UV-A rays from the sun come through windows, so it’s crucial to protect yourself from the sun while you’re driving.” ☀🚗

💡 Don't skip the SPF just because you're indoors or in a car - UV-A rays pe*****te through glass and cause DNA damage that leads to skin cancer. This is why daily sunscreen is a must!

We can never share this enough, especially during UV Safety Awareness Month. ☀
The ABCDEs of Melanoma - When checking moles or spots, remember the warning signs:

A: Asymmetry – one half doesn’t match the other
B: Border – edges are irregular or jagged
C: Color – multiple colors or uneven shades
D: Diameter – larger than 6mm (about a pencil eraser)
E: Evolving – changing in size, shape, or color

If you notice any of these, it’s time to get the spot checked. Early detection saves lives! ☀️

☀️ July is UV Awareness Month ☀️
Let’s talk about UV rays, the invisible part of sunlight that can have very visible effects on your skin.

🌞 What are UV rays?
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a form of energy emitted by the sun (also tanning beds). There are two main types that affect your skin:
• UV-A rays age the skin (think: wrinkles & sunspots)
• UV-B rays burn the skin (think: sunburns & pre-cancers)

⚠️ Why does it matter?
Overexposure to UV rays can cause:
• Premature aging
• Eye damage
• DNA changes in skin cells which lead to skin cancer

🧴 Protect your skin year-round by:
✔️ Wearing broad-spectrum SPF 30+
🧢 Covering up with hats & clothing
😎 Protecting your eyes with sunglasses
🌥️ Remember, UV rays still shine through the clouds!
