This year has not be the case. And with all this covering up and dressing in layers, you tend not to worry about your skin except to get slather up on lotion as we feel our hands crack and peel until around March or April when the warm temps finally do show their face and you begin to show your skin.
However, now is actually the right time to think about your skin and getting your hide checked for skin cancer.
To celebrate the opening of five DermOne Dermatology Centers locations in Dallas/Fort Worth, DermOne is providing 500 free skin care checks ($80,000 value) to the community.
To book a free exam, you can simply call one of the DermOne offices by Feb. 28 and mention "Healthy Skin DFW" to receive a free skin check.
Skin cancer is a serious issue in North Texas. In fact:
- It’s the most common form of cancer in the U.S., with more than 3.5 million skin cancers diagnosed in more than two million people annually.
- There are more new cases of skin cancer than breast, prostate, lung and colon cancer – combined.
- When left unchecked, skin cancer can be deadly faster than any of us would like to think.
In around 20 minutes, you can take a big step at taking care of your body's biggest organ!
