Know a Man Over 40?

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Is there a man over age 40 in your life?  If so, encourage him to visit his dermatologist for a skin check!  Two studies highlighted in Reuters magazine drive home the point that men over 40 have a higher propensity toward melanoma skin cancer.  In fact, they account for half of all the melanoma related deaths in the United States.  Seeing a suspicious spot or mole can be difficult if its on your back, which is the most common area for melanoma to occur in men.  A dermatologist’s expert eyes can help detect and treat any potential skin cancer issues before they turn into life-threatening problems.  While this demographic tends to visit a dermatologist less often, they are actually most important due to their higher risk.  So wives, partners, girlfriends, boyfriends, sisters - tell the men you care about to get checked and get educated about their skin to stay healthy - they’ll thank you for it!
