May is here at last! As we ease our way into the start of spring, there is lots to be excited about! Warm weather, sunny days, blooming flowers, and the nearing summer months just to name a few.

Let us not forget that with the approaching warmth comes those strong, harmful rays from the sun that we all dread. Even on cloudy days, it is important to remember that your skin is still getting exposed to the UV rays that can lead to skin cancer.

In light of melanoma awareness month this May, we want all of our beloved patients to remember the importance of protecting their skin. Skin cancer is on the rise, due to recent research, but thankfully there are things we can each do to lower our risk.

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, we want to take the time to celebrate all of the wonderful mothers in our lives. Mothers are so special and we believe that they should be celebrated not just on Mother’s Day, but everyday.  There are so many ways to show the moms in our lives how much we appreciate them. From making them breakfast in bed to giving them flowers, we are sharing a great article that includes a list some of the many small ways in which we can celebrate moms by:

Thanking her.

Telling her you love her.

Calling her.

Helping her around the house or with her errands.

Making her dinner.

Visiting her and spend some quality time with her.

Giving her a card.

We wish all of our hard-working, loving, and beautiful moms an amazing Mother’s Day!

The World Heath Organization and U.S. Food and Drug Administration both concur that anaplastic large cell lymphoma can develop following breast implants. So far, current research supports that this may occur more often in textured implants than smooth ones.

Recent findings suggest that just because you may not have many moles on your body does not mean you’re not at risk for melanoma. In fact, you may even be at higher risk.

Just one more reason to make sure you are constantly checking your skin for anything funny looking, and to see a dermatologist at least one a year!

As always, love your skin the way that we love you!
