Skin Cancer is the most common cancers among them all. It affects over one million people a year.

For early detection, look for these things:

     -A mole/spot that can be shiny, has no pigment or dark pigment, and has a smooth  surface  (look for color changes in moles)

     -a firm red mole/spot

    -a sore area on the skin than is either bleeding or crusty and causes the area not to  heal

     -a new growth (mole) that is changing in size/irregular in shape

     -a scaly/dry patch of skin

A annual skin check-up is recommended as well as oil-free sunscreen to help prevent the chance of skin cancer.

What is heat rash?

Heat rash consists of the sweat ducts becoming inflamed or blocked and tends to look ready to burst. These ducts become red, can be seen in clusters in the folds of skin, and can be itchy.

How do you prevent heat rash?

You can help prevent heat rash by not wearing tight clothing in heated areas.  Use oil free products so the sweat ducts do not get blocked. Drink lots of water and try to evade the heated areas when you are able to.

How do you treat heat rash?

Calamine lotion can be used on heat rash. It usually will heal on its own with in a few days. To speed up the healing process stay in cool areas, wear loose clothing, and keep cool with water. If it comes to it an antibiotic can also be prescribed with a doctor's consent.
