Sad statistics - that need to be shared! We still hear daily- “it’s just skin cancer”. 😖 Share this information OUTSIDE our own circles. We know the drill - but there is still a majority out there that don’t have a clue. EDUCATE every day! #melanoma

It’s up to you! Reach deep outside of your Melanoma homes and educate the uneducated. It’s up to You. And You. And You. #melanoma

#Melanoma can occur at any age, but the average age of melanoma diagnosis is 66 years old. The risk of melanoma increases with age, and the majority of cases are diagnosed in people over 50. This is mainly due to the cumulative effects of sun damage done over the years.

It’s DON’T FRY DAY While some exposure to sunlight can be enjoyable, too much can be dangerous. Overexposure to (UV) radiation from the sun can result in a painful sunburn. It can also lead to more serious health problems, including skin cancer. Children are particularly at risk

Melanoma staging = progression of melanoma with stages 0 to 4 Stage 0 - melanoma in situ, is the earliest stage where cancer cells are confined to the top layer of the skin Stages I - 3 show spread to the skin & regional lymph nodes Stage 4 - shows distant metastasis

Melanoma often presents as changes in existing moles or new pigmented skin growths. The ABCDEs of melanoma, a memory aid, help identify suspicious signs Additionally, look for moles that are itching, bleeding, or becoming crusty and call a Licensed Dermatologist!
