One of the pleasures of living in Hawai'i is being outdoors on a sunny day.
Problem is, too much sun can be dangerous.
Too much exposure can lead to serious health problems, including melanoma, a life threatening form of skin cancer. May is National Melanoma and Skin Cancer Detection Month. Melanoma is also one of the fastest growing forms of cancer in the United States, with Hawai'i at the top of the list. While most of Hawai'i's cases of skin cancer involve Caucasians, no race is immune. Hawaiians and part Hawaiians also get skin cancer.
