It's a fact: SKIN CANCER AFFECTS PEOPLE OF ALL COLORS.
Even if you have a darker skin tone, always tan or rarely burn, you can still develop the disease. This
includes people of African, Asian, Latino, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Native American descent.
For people of color, skin cancer is often diagnosed later, when it is harder to treat.
Simply put, if you have skin, you can get skin cancer. Also, ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can
cause dangerous, lasting damage to your skin, no matter its tone.
Check yourself monthly and get a full body skin exam at least once a year. And if you notice anything
NEW, CHANGING or UNUSUAL on your skin, contact a dermatologist right away.
