Facts about skin cancer

Skin cancer is the second most common cancer in the 29-39 age bracket.

One in 25 males and one in 38 females will develop melanoma of the skin by the age of 75.

Sun exposure causes more than 90% of all skin cancers. It doesn't have to be constant exposure- you stand a very strong chance of contracting skin cancer if you have suffered from sunburn just five or more times.

The good news is that early detection of skin cancer can save lives.

P.S. Always make sure and check your moles if you have them.
