May Is Skin Cancer Awareness Month: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Skin
At DermWorks™️, we’re committed to protecting the health and beauty of your skin all year long—but especially during Skin Cancer Awareness Month this May. As a board-certified dermatologist in Boca Raton, Florida, I want to take this opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of early detection, prevention, and professional skin checks.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. The good news? It’s also one of the most preventable and treatable—especially when diagnosed early by a qualified skin expert. If you’re searching for the best dermatologist in Boca Raton, or live in nearby areas like Delray Beach, Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale, or the surrounding cities of South Florida, this guide is for you.
Why Skin Cancer Awareness Matters?
- 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.
- Melanoma, the deadliest form, is highly curable when detected early by a skilled dermatologist.
- UV radiation from the sun is the leading cause of most skin cancers—but with the right protection, much of this risk can be avoided.
How to Protect Your Skin?
At DermWorks™️, we recommend three key actions for preventing skin cancer and maintaining long-term skin health:
1. Schedule Your Annual Skin Exam with a Dermatologist
Early detection is critical. Dr. Jenna Queller offers comprehensive, full-body skin checks at DermWorks in Boca Raton, helping patients from Delray Beach, Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and surrounding areas catch issues before they become serious. If you haven’t had a professional exam this year, now is the time.
2. Wear Sunscreen Daily
Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day, even when it’s cloudy. Reapply every two hours when outdoors, and don’t forget high-risk areas like your ears, scalp, lips, and the tops of your feet.
3. Know Your Skin and Perform Monthly Self-Checks
Look for the ABCDE warning signs of melanoma:
- Asymmetry
- Border irregularity
- Color variation
- Diameter larger than 6mm
- Evolution or any change in size, shape, or color
