Skin Cancer Treatment

Each year, more than 5 million cases of non-melanoma skin cancer and more than 87 thousand cases of melanoma are diagnosed in the United States. Living in sunny South Florida puts you at an increased risk. It’s important to be proactive and practice sun safety. Here are some important tips:

• Seek the shade, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• Do not burn
• Avoid tanning and UV tanning beds
• Use a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen
• Examine your skin every month and see your physician every year
