Summer and Skin Cancer Care for Seniors & Elderly

Summer is just around the corner which means longer days filled with lots of sunshine and outdoor meals, beach days, leisurely activities at the park, and more. Because of the temperature rise and longer days, it is important to stay hydrated and cool but most importantly, remember to put on some sunscreen! Increased sun exposure can put you at risk for skin cancer, which affects five million people each year in the United States. There are many varieties of skin cancer, such as MelanomaDysplastic NeviSquamous Cell Carcinoma, and Actinic Keratosis. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation site, about 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers are associated with exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Because it can affect everyone at any age, it is important to see a medical professional as soon as you detect a suspiciously shaped growth on your skin.
