I'm still amazed at how ignorant our society is to skin cancer. I'm a melanoma survivor and had a co-worker say to me "it's only skin cancer" like it's less deadly. Over 10,000 casualties per year, get checked out people
Delmarva has one of the highest incidences of skin cancer in the world.
Get check out with a licensed dermatologist...just once a year ! ...it won't hurt ! .. with ozone layers thinning ..and not enough suntan lotion perhaps in our youth...JUST DO IT !
Yeah, and erectile dysfunction too. Ha! I love the sun.
