May is Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month. Keep up to date with the latest skin news in the Dermatology Channel

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, with more than 5 million cases diagnosed each year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that melanoma alone is responsible for more than 8,000 deaths each year. Fortunately, skin cancer is highly preventable, so prioritizing protection is crucial. With the onset of summer and increased sun exposure, the incidence of skin cancer is on the rise, emphasizing the need for self-care.
