May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and it comes not a moment too soon. A recent study confirmed that nonmelanoma skin cancer is truly an epidemic in the US, with an estimated 350 percent increase in the number of skin cancers over the past decade and a half.
The Skin Cancer Foundation is committed to raising skin cancer awareness all year long by bringing you the latest in skin health and sun protection news. Please read on to learn more about photosensitivity, a subject The Wall Street Journal recently consulted us on, as well as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Advisory Panel’s unanimous decision to recommend stricter indoor tanning regulations. We also have the story on PGA TOUR golfer and skin cancer survivor Brian Davis' great game, and information on how you can support the Foundation by getting a great deal on sun protection products from Sephora and Brette Sandler, and watching a short video from Jergens®.

The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Road to Healthy Skin Tour, presented by AVEENO® and Rite Aid, also raises awareness. The Tour, which started in March and runs through the end of September, travels the country offering free full-body skin exams by dermatologists. To see when where we’re headed next, please view our Tour schedule at above or visit our Tour section.
