Skin cancer is just one part of your story. Turn your self doubt into your driving force. Remember that what you are going through is not easy and there is no one way to feel.

When caught and treated early, skin cancers are highly curable. And you’re the one with the best chance to see changes. Self-exams are a simple way to look at yourself with a new focus that can save your life.⁠ https://t.co/9LLKTVdGzd

Ghosts are nothing compared to the real scare: skin cancer. What’s truly frightening? Skipping monthly skin checks, believing in the “base tan myth” or using tanning beds that raise your melanoma risk. This season, make the smart choice: protect your skin + check it often.
