According to the American Academy of Dermatology, skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. Current estimates are that one in five Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and is the most common form of cancer for people aged 25-29.

In an effort to improve these numbers Coastal Skin Surgery and Dermatology encourages everyone to regularly perform self-exams and schedule yearly skin exams. Wearing orange on Monday May 4, and/or getting screened for skin cancer will help support the Academy of Dermatology's vision of a world without skin cancer.
