Dr. Leithauser here- I can’t believe almost the whole month of May has gotten away from me without a post for SKIN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH!
As we all gear up for an amazing summer after what felt like the longest winter ever, remember to keep skin health as a priority!
A few tips to get through the summer season safely-
☀️apply broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to all sun exposed areas. Re-apply every 2 hours- sooner if swimming or sweating
☀️wear sun protective clothing
☀️minimize direct sun exposure during the midday hours when UV rays are the most intense
☀️schedule an annual skin cancer screening with your dermatologist!
