May is the perfect month to promote awareness the most! More people are venturing outside and soaking up the UV Rays.

PLEASE help us educate about the dangers of Melanoma, how to prevent and teach your kids great sun habits to last a lifetime.

A review of two popular skin screening apps found that they are not a suitable replacement for a traditional skin exam. The best use for your smartphone when it comes to skin health? Call your doctor and schedule an exam. https://t.co/lvEsZUZaMd

Treatment for Melanoma could be more effective if combined with a well-known drug for rheumatoid arthritis.

The study, by scientists at UEA found that in mice, using the two treatments together almost completely stopped the growth of a melanoma tumor.

@SouthwestAir Promoting any tan lines, awkward or not, is irresponsible. Skin cancer IS real cancer.

"This is a simple, elegant test. It's quantitative rather than subjective, and it may be able to add value to predictions about disease progression," said Dr. Thomas Kupper, chair of the Department of Dermatology at the Brigham. #melanoma https://t.co/Hw18IlhFUQ

[MAC - Melanoma Action Coalition @MelanomaAction]

Short periods of intense UV EXPOSURE during winter vacation are linked to SKIN CANCER.

UV rays are stronger at higher altitudes - Fresh white snow reflects up to 88% of the sun’s UV rays, almost doubling a person’s UV exposure.

[The Skin Cancer Foundation 👒 @SkinCancerOrg]

Your first line of defense against sun damage is clothing. Covering up is easier in the winter (it’s cold!) but the face, head and neck tend to remain exposed year-round, and this is where most skin cancers occur. #WednesdayWisdom
