Skin Cancer, Sun Protection, and You [INFOGRAPHIC]

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in America. Every year, doctors diagnose approximately 3.5 million cases of skin cancer. In fact, over the last 30 years, there have been more incidences of skin cancer than all other types of cancer combined. While there are certain risk factors for skin cancer that cannot be controlled, such as family history, skin type, and hair color, there are steps you can take for sun protection and skin cancer prevention. Always wear sunscreen, even if it is cloudy out, and be sure to cover all exposed skin. Ask your Salt Lake City dermatologist for recommendations about effective skincare products.
