Comprehensive evaluation of skin cancer risk based on skin type, sun exposure history, and protective factors
Enter your skin characteristics, sun exposure history, and protective habits to get a comprehensive skin cancer risk assessment.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer, with over 5 million cases treated annually in the US. Early detection through regular self-examinations and professional screenings significantly improves treatment outcomes. Understanding your risk factors helps guide prevention strategies.
Most skin cancers are preventable through proper sun protection. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+), wear protective clothing and hats, seek shade during peak hours (10 AM - 4 PM), and avoid tanning beds. Regular self-examinations help detect changes early.
Consult a dermatologist immediately if you notice any ABCDE warning signs: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter over 6mm, or Evolution (changes in size, shape, or color). Schedule regular skin exams based on your risk level.
