FACT: Some melanomas may have no color at all. Amelanotic #melanoma may be pink, reddish, purple, normal skin color or even clear. Keep this in mind when performing your monthly self-skin checks! #MelanomaAwarenessMonth

By age 50, men are more likely than women to develop #melanoma. By 65, men are 2x as likely as women of the same age to develop melanoma. By age 80, it! Take the pledge to wear sunscreen EVERY time you STEP outside. We promise, it's worth it. LINK in BIO.

Plain and simple: avoid tanning at all costs! Tanning damages your skin cells and speeds up visible signs of aging. Worst of all, tanning can lead to skin cancer. bit.ly/SCFTanning #WednesdayWisdom
Did you know Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a measure of time that a #sunscreen can protect against the sun’s rays? The higher the SPF = the longer the protection. Still—reapply every 2 hours! #DYK #MelanomaAwarenessMonth
We believe that the best #sunscreen is one that you will wear daily! Please be sure to apply one w/ SPF 30 or above that is also water-resistant and broad spectrum before getting some fresh air. #MelanomaAwarenessMonth #COVID19 buff.ly/2VJDGxJ
#Fact: The leading risk factor for lip cancer is UV radiation from the sun. Tanning beds contribute, too. bit.ly/LipCancerInfo
From @WMCActionNews5 - While #melanoma is diagnosed by a medical professional, it can be caught early on by none other than… you! There is a simple self-examination to detect it through the letters A, B, C, D, and E. buff.ly/2W0RXpL

Whether you’re 16 or 60, without sun protection, you’re leaving your skin exposed to the harmful effects of the sun’s rays.

April 19-25 is #NationalVolunteerWeek2020 and we value our dedicated volunteers 365 days of the year, but we are especially proud to honor them during National Volunteer Week. The gift of their time and their dedication is priceless!

Heartwarming Story 💛 A great reminder as well that skin cancer can strike anyone at anytime and is capable of spreading to other areas of the body. If you haven't gotten your annual skin cancer exam yet, schedule one today! #MelanomaAwareness cnn.it/39ETTZG

While a limited amount of vitamin D can be obtained from exposure to the ☀️UV radiation, the health risks of unprotected exposure, including #skincancer, are great. We suggest you get your recommended daily intake of vitamin D from food sources and supplements. #FridayThoughts

Stay safe at home. But whenever you do need to go out, follow the CDC's social distancing and infection control guidelines, and remember to protect your skin from the sun as well. #StayHome skincancer.org/skin-cancer-p…
