Hey guys!Thanks for all the Feedback on the 1st post! For I enjoy reading all the newest and current information that happening with health care. So when I was researching on ways to prevent skin cancer. I ran into some important info that we might have heard or known, but need a refresher!

As well as precautions to take when we are outdoors!

Do regular self-examinations and report any suspicious looking marks or skin lesions to your healthcare professional at once. Ask your GP to also do a full body check every 6-12 months.

  1. I really like and dislike this blog..don't get your dander up here is why.
    I don't like it because it's reality to me, I HAVE SKIN DAMAGE from the sun and over exposure with no sun screen!

    There see that wasan't so bad.

    I LOVE IT cause it helps to get the word out that a "TAN" is R E A L L Y N O T healthy and good looking, it signals someone else who has this knowledge that you are trying to get skin cancer or are so uncaring about your future that you take those risks....

    great pics and info!!!

    THANKS
