Free Skin Cancer Screening in May, Skin Cancer Awareness Month

By Sue Chung, Health Guide Thursday, April 26, 2007


Below are two links that will take you to databases for available free cancer screenings:


www.skincancertakesfriends.org — In honor of National Skin Cancer Awareness Month, Olay and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery are joining forces to raise our country's knowledge of the dangers of skin cancer. The website also offers a page to find a free skin cancer screening near you. Use the drop-down menu to find a participating dermatologist.


www.aad.org/professionals/screeningmap.htm — The American Academy of Dermatology offers a national map to locate your nearest free skin cancer screening center. This map is available year-round and updated regularly with screenings across the country. If you can't fit in an appointment during May, use this resource to find a skin cancer screening when it's convenient for you.
