"Stay Safe in the Sun: Protect Yourself from Skin Cancer"

Skin cancer is on the rise, making it more important than ever to protect yourself. Melanoma Monday is recognized on the first Monday in May to raise awareness about the most serious form of skin cancer and ways to prevent it. The best prevention is wearing sunscreen and sun-protective clothing and watching for changes to your skin. It's recommended that every American above age 18 gets an annual skin examination. Skin cancer is almost always curable when it's caught early, so it's really important to protect ourselves and get checked because early detection is key.
