The Friday Five – Don’t Fry Day

May 28, 2021 | Posted by Annmarie Budniak | HIT Feed |

Follow and join the conversation with #dontfryday, #skincancerprevention, and #protectyourskin.

To help reduce rising rates of skin cancer from overexposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun, the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention (@skincancerprev) has designated the Friday before Memorial Day as “Don’t Fry Day” to encourage sun safety awareness and to remind everyone to protect their skin while enjoying the outdoors. Our Friday Five provides facts, tips and information to help readers stay safe while basking in the summer sun.

Northwell Health (@northwellhealth) dermatologist & Mohs skin cancer surgeon Dr. Victoria Sharon explains how to look for the most common signs of skin cancer, also known as the ABCDEs of melanoma.

“Skin Checks” Save Lives. Here’s What They Look For

Spending long summer days in the sun is not without its risks. Learn the ins and outs of skin checks, whether they’re done professionally or DIY, in this article from Allure.

Julian, Ph.D., Cancer Prevention Fellow National Cancer Institute, on CDC’s (@CDCgov) blog.
