❌ Myth: "I have darker skin, so I don't need to worry about skin cancer." Let's clear that up.

Skin cancer can affect every skin tone. Deeper skin has more melanin, the pigment that offers some natural sun protection, but "some" is not "enough." People with darker skin still develop skin cancer, and it's often found later, when it's harder to treat.

So what can you do? 🔎 Check the spots you rarely look at. Watch your palms, soles, and nails for a new mark, a dark streak, or a sore that won't heal.
This holds true whether you're 19 or 79, and whatever your skin type. A full-body exam takes about 15 minutes — and we check the spots most people overlook. 👀

Cooler air is on the way, and your skin is about to feel it. Lower humidity pulls moisture from your skin, which can leave it dry, tight, or flaky.

A few small adjustments help you make the switch:
🧴 Switch to a richer moisturizer. Thicker creams hold in more hydration than lightweight summer lotions.
💧 Apply to damp skin. Moisturize right after your shower to lock in more water than waiting until you're fully dry.
☀️ Keep wearing SPF. UV rays reach your skin year-round, so broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher still matters in fall.

Whether you're settling into a new semester or enjoying the change of pace, your skin benefits from steady care, and we're here to help. 👩‍💻 Request an appointment online or give us a call at (607) 257-1107 today.

Summer is winding down and your calendar is about to fill up fast. 🍂 Once fall arrives, classes, work, and family routines have a way of pushing that "I'll get to it" appointment well into next year.

Here's why now is the right time to schedule. 👇

☀️ Sun exposure is cumulative. 🌳 Every afternoon outdoors this summer added to a lifetime total, and that buildup is the single biggest risk factor for skin cancer. A professional screening is how you catch a concern early, when it's most treatable.

⏱️ A full-body skin exam only takes about 15 minutes. Your provider will check areas you can't easily see yourself — your scalp, your back, the backs of your legs.

Don't let a busy fall be the reason you wait. 📲 Call us at (607) 257-1107 or request an appointment online today.

Sun freckles, old scars, and...a hidden skin cancer? 🔎

This case is a prime reminder of why every suspicious pigmented lesion deserves a biopsy. This pigmented Squamous Cell Carcinoma in situ tried to blend right into our patient’s sun freckles and melanoma scar, but Dr. McAllister’s Dermlite skills caught it in time! 🩺💪

So thrilled for another early catch and successful treatment! 🥳✨

Don’t forget to schedule your routine skin check! 📅👇

🗓️ UV rays don't fade with the calendar.

August sun can be just as intense as July sun, and every unprotected hour adds to your lifetime total — the biggest risk factor for skin cancer.
So don't let your habits slip just yet.

• Keep the SPF going. 🧴 Broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher guards against UVA and UVB rays, the two types that cause sunburn and lasting damage.
• Reapply every 60 to 120 minutes. ⏰ One morning application won't carry you through the afternoon.
• Protect the spots you forget. 👂 Ears, the back of your neck, the tops of your feet. 👣

Noticed a spot that's changed over the summer — or just due for a check-in? Don't wait for a concern to show up before scheduling a skin exam. 👩‍⚕️ Regular screenings help catch changes early.
