Consumer Alert: Dermatologists Warn Skin Cancer Is An Equal-Opportunity Health Threat
Description: According to current estimates, more than 1 million cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year. While historically those most at risk for developing skin cancer are fair-skinned individuals with blonde or red hair, light eyes, and generally older populations, dermatologists advise that those who do not fit this profile are not immune. In fact, some dermatologists are reporting an increased incidence of skin cancer in younger women and people with skin of color - with the latter group often facing a bleaker outcome due to delayed diagnosis.
