PREVENTION
Reduce your risk of skin cancer.
There is no guaranteed way to prevent skin cancer, but adopting healthy sun-safety habits can lower your risk and support early detection.
Skin Cancer Screenings
A skin cancer screening helps identify spots or lesions that may need further assessment. You can examine your skin at home or visit a clinician for a full-skin examination.
Dermoscopy
Dermoscopy is a technique that uses a tool called a dermatoscope to examine the skin with magnification. This close-up view helps clinicians see structures beneath the surface that are not visible to the naked eye and can support earlier recognition of concerning lesions.
Risk Factors
Understanding the factors that increase your risk of skin cancer, such as UV exposure, is an important part of prevention. With the right precautions, you can still enjoy outdoor activities while reducing your risk.
Risk Reduction
There is no guaranteed way to prevent skin cancer, but practical sun-safety habits can help reduce your risk. Taking simple protective steps when spending time outdoors is an effective way to begin.
