May 2010 DATE/TIME EVENT INFORMATION May 28, 2010  Don’t Fry Day™ is May 28 A day to encourage sun-safe behaviors <<<<<<<<<<<< GO TO www.aad.org for more info >>>>>>>>>>>> SKIN e-NEWS 31 Days, 31 Ways to Prevent and Detect Melanoma!! May 2010 More people are developing melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, than ever before. Melanoma is now the most common cancer in Americans aged 25 – 29 years old. It is the second most common cancer in Americans who are 15 – 29 years old. That’s why the American Academy of Dermatology (Academy) created 31 Days, 31 Ways to Prevent and Detect Melanoma. Each day during the month of May, you will find a tip to help you make healthy choices. Appearing on a May 2010 calendar, these tips cover everything from “Where on the body can you get melanoma?” to “Should I get my vitamin D from the sun?” and “Are tanning beds safer than the sun?” To find the answers to these questions and more, visit Melanoma Monday. Melanoma Survivors Have Increased Cancer Risks If you’ve ever had melanoma, you may want to get skin cancer checkups for life. A recent study of 89,515 melanoma survivors found that the risk of developing another melanoma remains high for years. More than 20 years after the first diagnosis, survivors still had an increased risk. (more) What’s your “Suntelligence”? You may know your IQ, but what about your "Suntelligence"? "Suntelligence" measures your attitudes about tanning. It tests how much you know about the sun’s effects on the skin. To discover your "Suntelligence", take the Academy’s "Suntelligence" Survey. After taking the survey, be sure to find out how your answers compare with those who took this survey earlier this year. For example, are you among the 80% of respondents who are concerned about skin cancer and feel it’s important to protect themselves? To see how your responses compare, visit: New Survey Ranks the Nation’s Most and Least Sun-Smart Cities (news release) 2010 “Suntelligence: How Sun Smart is Your City?” Fact Sheet What Dermatologists Tell Their Patients "Not a month goes by when I don't see someone in their 20s with skin cancer. Invariably, they've been to tanning parlors and they are consumed by guilt." David J.

By putting on a wide-brimmed hat before you step outdoors, you help reduce your risk. Wear your wide-brimmed hat all day on Friday, May 28, 2010, and you may help reduce someone else’s risk. A wide-brimmed hat is sure to catch people’s attention. And that’s what the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention (Council) seeks to do on the Friday before Memorial Day. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness of sun safety. So when someone asks why you’re wearing that hat, be sure to let them know it’s Don’t Fry Day™. To help you inspire others, the Academy makes its posters and some other materials available at no charge. A few of the sun-safety posters, such as the one shown here, were created specifically for Don’t Fry Day™. You will find these posters at Download Free Materials. The core message for this year’s Don’t Fry Day™ is that no single step can fully protect you from overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays.
