What happened

The American Cancer Society has renewed its push for safe sun practices. The organization is urging the public to adopt better sun safety habits to reduce the risk of skin cancer. The campaign follows recent discussions among dermatologists about the importance of UV protection.

The Washington Post has identified three common sun-safety mistakes that many people make unknowingly. These mistakes include not protecting skin on overcast days, failing to reapply sunscreen frequently enough, and neglecting to cover often-overlooked areas such as the ears and neck. The VA Jackson Health Care system has also published a dermatologist's guide to beating UV rays, emphasizing the need for comprehensive sun protection.

The public is being advised to take extra precautions. Dermatology Times has published a Q&A with Kathleen Suozzi, MD, discussing next-gen protection and photodamage. Meanwhile, KXII has stressed the importance of protecting skin from the sun even when it's overcast.
