As you know, Memorial Day is the unofficial kickoff to summer, which means more time outside.

But sun exposure and damage can lead to skin cancer.

A nurse with the University of Louisville's Brown Cancer Center explains not only how to protect your skin, but what you should do and look out for.

If you do get burned.

That in today's medical news.

We always recommend for like, you know, a covered like group.

Try to call it as much as you can.

If you have like lighter skin, you don't have enough melanin which protects your skin.

Kind of like protected from all these, like sort of.

So I always recommend like SPF 30 and more.

Which is pretty kind of like, good.

If you are outside in sun, I generally encourage you to kind of like apply at between two and a half hours, especially on water.

Like, you know, you're sweating a lot, that kind of stuff.

And definitely I would apply 60 to 20 minutes before when you kind of like when you leave the house of the sun.

So 15, 20 minutes before, if somebody is in water, not only they are getting kind of like more sun, sun exposure, but it is the habit nobody goes to water with colored body light.

They will have less clothing.

They have like longer pools.

So it's kind of like combined multiple.

Your goals are one thing, but basically combined multiple risk factor just because of the nature of place, the nature of kind of like activity.

You are doing that kind of stuff.

If you notice something abnormal and you have busy schedule for this outlet, outside activity and this and that or travel, people travel a lot in summer time, then they come back, forget or delay.

They are complex skin checkups generally admitted.

A lot of it is quite common like ABCDE rule.

So for snakes is asymmetry.

So when you have mole which is kind of look asymmetrical, it doesn't look kind of like a round or like nice looking one mole.

That's not a good sign.

Second, like B border, if they have like irregular border, it's not like nice and subtle because that's not good.

So that's b C is color.

So if you have a mole is kind of like two millimeters.

Mm mm.

Mole.

And in one more like part of that you see like blue, purple, red, green.

So it's not like one color, you have different color and one more.

That's not a good sign either.

So that C d diameter is like certain, like size.

If you cross certain size, then bag.

So any time when you have six medium don't want more that like cut off, you should either get that checked out.
