Skin Deep

As we mentioned yesterday, May serves as an awareness month for many issues and causes, and today, we would like to call special attention to melanoma. This most serious type of skin cancer affects more than 160,000 people each year, and accounts for over 75% of all deaths related to skin cancer. So, in honor of Melanoma Detection and Prevention Month, learn how to do a skin self-examination. Make a promise to lessen your exposure to UV rays. See what the folks at the Melanoma Research Alliance are up to. Five quick minutes this month could save a life.
