WHO IS AT RISK FOR SKIN CANCER?


Although skin cancer can occur in young people, the risk of developing it increases as you age.

Other factors that may increase your risk include:

•Having fair skin, eyes and hair pigmentation.
•Being exposed to large amounts of sunlight.
•Experiencing one or more blistering sunburns as a child.
•Using tanning devices.
•Having a relative who has developed skin cancer.


Becoming familiar with the risks and symptoms of skin cancer can help with early detection and keep you healthy. Call our dermatologists at 608-364-2400 for Beloit Clinic or 815-525-4327 for NorthPointe if you have questions or concerns about potentially cancerous growths or about your risk for skin cancer.
