Protect your skin and get screened! It’s important to shield your skin from sun damage, which can lead to skin cancer. Applying broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen helps protect your skin, even on cloudy days. Clothing, hats and sunglasses also provide protection, and it’s best to seek shade during peak sun hours.

Talk to your primary care doctor or a dermatologist about annual skin screenings, and let them know about any changes or irregularities in your skin. Early detection of skin cancer improves treatment success.

Risk increases with a personal or family history of skin cancer, fair skin, significant sun exposure or a weakened immune system. Regular exams and monthly self-checks, starting in your 20s, are key.

Soft tissues hold the body together and include muscles, tendons, fat, blood vessels, nerves and more. Many soft tissue lumps are not cancerous. Even so, it’s important to be aware of lumps and changes in your body and to seek medical care.
