☀️ Skin Cancer Awareness Month: Protect Your Skin, Protect Your Health
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the most common type of cancer in the United States—and one of the most preventable.
Your skin is your body’s first line of defense, and taking care of it matters more than you think.
🔎 Know the Warning Signs
Keep an eye out for:
New or changing moles
Sores that don’t heal
Spots that itch, bleed, or grow
Irregular borders or uneven color
If something doesn’t look right, don’t ignore it.
🧴 Prevention Starts Daily
Wear sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)
Avoid excessive sun exposure
Wear protective clothing and hats
Schedule regular skin checks
🩺 Why Early Detection Matters
When caught early, skin cancer is highly treatable. But when left untreated, it can lead to serious complications—including chronic wounds and tissue damage.
