"Don't forget these sunscreen spots, say dermatologists"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by CBS News

Dermatologists warn that commonly overlooked spots like the tops and back of the ears, lips, around the eyes, upper neck, chest, scalp, and hands need protection from the sun's harmful rays. Using an SPF-infused lip balm, eye cream, and wearing sunglasses with UV protection can help protect the delicate skin around the eyes and lips. Powder sunscreens can be used for the hair part, but wearing a hat is recommended for prolonged sun exposure. Sunscreen should be applied 10-15 minutes before sun exposure and reapplied every two to three hours, especially when swimming or sweating.

Ignoring a Pimple Could Lead to Skin Cancer, Warns Woman Who Discovered Her Birthmark Was Cancerous.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by New York Post

A New Zealand woman who thought she had a pimple on her nose discovered it was actually basal cell carcinoma, a common form of skin cancer. Michelle Davis ignored the red bump for months, using concealer to hide it, until it turned purple and became sore. After trying to squeeze it, she saw a doctor and was shocked to learn she needed surgery to remove the cancer. Davis hopes her story encourages others to get unusual bumps and blemishes checked out by medical professionals and to use sunblock as part of their daily routine.
