Our community of skin cancer warriors tell us what they’re grateful for while living with, and beyond skin cancer.
As we rake leaves, dig out our mothers’ pie recipes or make travel plans for Thanksgiving, it’s a good time to remember that feeling grateful is not just good for our mental health. Studies suggest it may also help improve heart health, lower blood pressure and reduce inflammation.
Thanks to the help of 51 volunteer dermatologists in 24 cities, The Skin Cancer Foundation provided 1,414 free skin cancer screenings in 2022. Here are some highlights from Destination Healthy Skin.
The human papillomavirus, or HPV, may play a role in the development of some squamous cell carcinomas of the skin (SCCs). Anna Nichols, MD, PhD, is determined to find out how and why.
In July, 2022, our Destination Healthy Skin RV made its way across five states, where we provided 274 free skin cancer screenings.
Just like the gut microbiome, your skin microbiome is a community of tiny microbes with an enormous impact on your health and even a role in skin cancer prevention and treatment.
Scientists are analyzing the microbial communities in our guts down to the genetic level to learn how this knowledge may help our health — and even save our skin.
What we usually just flush, poop is helping scientists understand how the colony of microbes called your gut microbiome may help or harm your skin health.
Exciting new research shows how the microbiome of tiny organisms colonizing your digestive tract can help (or harm) your health in many ways — even in the field of skin cancer.
