Thank you, @RealHughJackman, for raising awareness about skin cancer and reminding everyone to protect their skin from the sun when outdoors. #YourDermatologistKnows that UV exposure is the most preventable risk factor for skin cancer.
You’ve heard me talk about my basal cell carcinomas before. And I’m going to keep talking about them, if need be. If just one person remembers to put on sunscreen with a high SPF, I’m happy.

We are happy to hear that Joe Biden successfully had basal cell carcinoma removed. When caught early, skin cancer is highly treatable. Remember to see a board-certified dermatologist if you notice any spots that are new, changing, itching, or bleeding.
BREAKING: A skin lesion removed from President Joe Biden's chest last month was a basal cell carcinoma — a common form of skin cancer — his doctor said Friday, adding that no further treatment was required.
