on the skin is the most common sign of skin cancer. This may be any new mole or growth on the skin, a sore that doesn’t heal, or a change in an old growth. Check the skin on all surfaces of your body, even in your mouth. Talk with your doctor if you see any chang- es on your skin that do not go away within a month. There are steps you can take to pro- tect yourself and prevent skin cancer. Avoid staying out in the sun if you can, especially in the middle of the day, when the sun’s rays are strongest. If you work or play outside, you should wear clothes that cover your arms and legs, a hat that shades your face and ear and unglae tat filter out  light to protect your eyes. Use sunscreen that has a sun protec- tion factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. You should use sunscreen products that


are labeled “broad spectrum” that can filter bot  and  ray ou should not use tanning beds, booths, or sunlamps, because these machines also give off UV rays. It doesn’t matter whether you con- sider your skin light, dark, or some- where in between— remember, anyone can get skin cancer. Start taking care of your skin today.
