âď¸ Skin Cancer Awareness Month: Protect Your Skin, Protect Your Health
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the most common type of cancer in the United Statesâand one of the most preventable.
Your skin is your bodyâs first line of defense, and taking care of it matters more than you think.
đ Know the Warning Signs
Keep an eye out for:
New or changing moles
Sores that donât heal

đ§´ Prevention Starts Daily
