Did you know that skin cancer is the most prevalent of all cancers? It’s estimated that over one million Americans develop some type of skin cancer every year. Overexposure to sunlight (including tanning) is the main cause, especially when it results in sunburn and blistering. Avoiding the sun is your best defense, but when you can’t, have your skin checked by a professional on a regular basis.
