THE SUN IS NOT SEASONAL AND IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN + Some people may have liked tanning much this summer and over the past years with little or no protection against the suns strongest rays +
Over the years extensive sun exposure can catch up with a person in the form of precancerous skin lesions known as Actinic Keratoses (AKs), which can lead to a type of skin cancer known as squamous cell carcinoma. + Most people have never heard of AKs, but should be aware of the condition as they can occur on any sun exposed part of the body. + Adults need to be encouraged to go to their dermatologist to get their skin screenings and also become more sun conscious + Even though summer is drawing to a close on the East Coast the sun is year round and exposure can put people at risk. The good news, when caught early AKs may be treated. + A dermatologist can be made available to help speak with your listeners on tips to protect their skin including available treatment with the topical cream Carac for AKs.
