When your skin tends to be dry, it's better to avoid these regimens and merely wash and apply moisturizer as I've described. I hope that these tips help. Try them and let me know if your skin isn't looking and feeling better. Q. I've read that skin cancer is on the rise. I want to check myself out for any funny looking spots, but frankly, I'm confused about the different types of skin cancer and what I should exactly be looking for.
Skin cancer is on the rise.
In fact basal cell carcinoma is the most common of all cancers. While that may sound ominous, its reassuring to know that basal cell carcinoma is also one of the least dangerous of all cancers and that only in the most unusual of circumstances does anyone ever die of this condition. On the other hand, malignant melanoma will affect about 30,000 Americans this year, and will cause 7,000 deaths. So checking yourself, or seeing your dermatologist for an exam is an intelligent thing to do. Any non healing sore or any enlarging or otherwise changing growth should be evaluated for the possibility of skin cancer.
