Detecting melanoma early is crucial; early detection can vastly increase your chances for a cure. Keep an eye out for anything new, changing, or unusual on both sun-exposed and sun-protected areas of the body. Melanomas commonly appear on the legs of women and the trunk of men. Remember, melanomas can arise anywhere on the skin, even in areas where the sun doesn't shine. Most moles, brown spots, and growths on the skin are harmless, but not always. Learn about the ABCDEs to help you detect melanoma. 💜 (Cancer Awareness, Cancer Hope, Cancer Resilience, Cancer Strength, PurpleRibbon, Skin Cancer Awareness, Melanoma) #PurpleRibbon #CancerAwareness #CancerSupport #CancerCommunity #CancerHope #Melanoma #SkincancerAwarnessMonth

May marks Skin Cancer Awareness Month, an important time to learn about melanoma, a malignant form of skin cancer where pigment-producing cells grow uncontrollably. Do you have atypical moles? Do you have a family history of melanoma? Are you often exposed to the sun, or have you been? Don't brush off the signs. Early detection is the strongest weapon against melanoma. Over the past 30 years, melanoma cases have increased, now accounting for 1.7% of the 19 million new cancer cases worldwide. An estimated 331,722 new melanoma cases are diagnosed globally each year. Early detection is crucial. Know your skin, watch for signs of change, and get checked regularly. 💛 #bmsbelgium #melanoma #skincancerawareness

Fortunately one simple thing you can do to DRASTICALLY lower your risk of developing melanoma is to just wear sunscreen every day! This small habit can save your life.
