May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and the best time to prioritize your skin health. With longer days and more time spent outdoors, sun exposure can add up quickly.
Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States, and it is also highly treatable when detected early. If you notice a new or changing mole, a suspicious growth, or a sore that is not healing, it is important to have it evaluated. Our clinicians perform skin biopsies and excisions in the office to assess and treat abnormal skin, including concerns related to melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.
A few sun safety habits that can make a meaningful difference: Apply SPF 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days. 🧴 Reapply every two hours when spending time outdoors. ⏰ Seek shade during peak sun hours, between 10 am and 4 pm. 🧢 Wear a hat and sun-protective clothing.
If you have a skin concern, do not wait to have it evaluated. Same-day appointments are available for urgent needs.
