Skin cancer is common, with approximately 6 in a room expected to develop it. Daily application of broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF between 15-50 and containing zinc oxide provides protection. People should perform monthly self-examinations of their skin, looking for asymmetrical, irregular bordered, varied colored or large diameter lesions, and see a doctor if anything looks abnormal, as early detection and removal of skin cancer increases chances of successful treatment.
