One of my readers just told me about free skin cancer screenings being offered around the country from The Skin Care Foundation. This wonderful program started in March, so Lord willing, I will post about this sooner next year so more of us can take advantage of it. Here is the link to the website to find out when it will be offered in your area: http://www.skincancer.org/Tour/

Dermatologists who participate in the Road to Healthy Skin Tourscreen patients for the following conditions:

Actinic keratosis (AK) currently affects more than 10 million Americans. AK is the most common type of precancerous skin lesion and, if left untreated, can lead to a cancer known as squamous cell carcinoma.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer, affecting an estimated 2.8 million Americans annually.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) affects an estimated 700,000 Americans and claims 2,500 lives each year. Squamous cell carcinoma can sometimes metastasize (spread) quickly, so it is important to detect the cancer in its earliest stages.
Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer and has increased more rapidly than any other form of skin cancer during the past 10 years. With approximately 68,720 cases and 8,650 deaths occurring each year in the United States, melanoma has reached epidemic proportions. However, when diagnosed and removed early, melanoma is usually curable.
