Celebrities and Skin Cancer















Hugh Jackman, Bruce Jenner, Vinnie Jones.  These stars have recently made headlines, but not for the reasons you might expect.  They were all recently diagnosed with skin cancer.  Pictures appeared of Jenner and Jackman with bandaged noses.  Both stars revealed they were diagnosed and treated for skin cancers.  Fortunately, skin cancer can be prevented and easily treated when detected early.  Wearing sunscreen with a minimum SPF 35 every day and reapplying frequently is the most important step to preventing skin cancer.  Also, routine skin checks with your skin care provider can detect any problem changes in your skin.  If you notice changes, you should bring these to the attention of your provider.  Take warning from these celebrities, and make an effort to prevent skin cancer!
