Skin Cancer Alert!

Are you of the generation that never heard of sun block when you were a teenager?  Back in the "day" we used to smear on crisco oil or baby oil and lay out on the roof to see just how burned we could get.   The browner the better.  Well, now we sun worshippers are paying the price for our foolishness.   Studies say that skin cancers now are often a result of a sun burn 20 years previously.   So, the most important thing you can do is be vigilent.   Routinely study or analyze your moles and skin.   Do you have a mole that's changing color or shape?   Do you have one that itches?    Do you have a new "thing" on your skin that has just appeared recently?  Do you have a sore that just never seems to heal and cracks and bleeds constantly?   If you have any of the above you should see a dermatologist soon.    Let him analyze your skin and see if there's anything troubling to him.   Don't just wait until it becomes a huge problem.    Catching skin cancers early leads to easier cures.   Don't put it off.    Patrol your moles today!
