July is UV Safety Month
Summer is the perfect time to remind viewers about the dangers of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and how to protect themselves in the sun. The skin is the body’s largest organ. It protects against heat, sunlight, injury, and infection. Yet, some of us don’t consider the necessity of protecting our skin.
Skin Cancer Awareness Month
People can have stages of skin cancer and yet not feel ill, which makes early treatment and diagnosis a little challenging. But by being aware of the early stages of this disease, and getting an annual skin exam (even in your 20s), you can protect yourself and seek effective treatment right away. The most common signs of skin cancer are changes on your skin, such as a new growth, a sore that doesn’t heal, or a change in a mole. Even if it’s cool and cloudy, you still need protection. UV rays, not the temperature, do the damage.
