No Winter Break for Skin Cancer

TanTowel would like to remind you that just because it is winter (in the Northern Hemisphere), skin cancer does not take a break.

“We see skin cancer all year round,” says Dr. Mary Hurley, president of the Dallas Division of the Dallas-Fort Worth Dermatological Society and North Dallas Dermatology Associates.

Basically, see a dermatologist “for anything that’s new, changing or not healing,” she says.

If you think you may have skin cancer or you notice an unusual-looking mole, have your dermatologist check it out right away.
