"Last summer it was reported that some of the wealthiest communities on the South Shore have the highest skin cancer rates, in some cases more than double the number expected," explained Dr. Ramzi Saad. "Malignant melanoma (skin cancer) can spread to other parts of the body, but it often may be cured in its early stages. Early detection is key."
South Shore Skin Center advises folks to take these preventative measures:
Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and other UVA/UVB sources, such as tanning beds.
Use ample amounts of sunscreen or sunblock with an SPF of 30 or higher every day, even if it is cloudy.
Wear large framed or wrap-around sunglasses to protect the eye area.
Have your skin checked by a dermatologist regularly.
Note any moles or other spots on the skin that have changed. Have them checked as soon as possible.
