June is an important time for men because it's Men’s Health Month! Its main purpose is to bring awareness to health issues and diseases prevalent among men and encouraging early detection and treatment. This also includes skin health! And with it being a time where we are all out in the sun more, it’s very important to consistently check your skin for abnormal moles that could be cancerous or precancerous, especially if you’re over 45.

All of us experience a few pesky pimples from time to time but what if your case is more severe and considered chronic acne? With June being Acne Awareness Month and 50 million Americans currently affected by the condition, we figured we could shed some light. 

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States, and it can affect you whether you have light, medium, or the darkest skin tones. 

Think you don’t need sunblock indoors? Think again! That sly old sun can cause long-term damage even when you don’t realize you’re soaking up rays.  

The weather is warming up and people are ready to get back out into the world! Just remember, you need to be mindful of your skincare needs. The most important part of proper skincare is making sure you Check and Protect. Getting your skin checked by your dermatologist every year is very important, along with being proactive in protecting it against diseases and cancers.

We get it. You have a lot going on, you don’t think you have any skin changes, and you may not be exactly thrilled with having someone else inspect your skin. However, this simple and fast check could be the one thing standing between you and your health. Skin cancer can easily go unnoticed, especially if it’s in a less visible part of your body. Don’t gamble your health--get your skin check on the books!
