Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer

The United States is facing a big dilemma in the form of skin cancer, which the American Academy of Dermatology predicts will result in over one million new cases of the disease just this year. The biggest cause of skin cancer is, of course, excessive sun exposure which leads to ultraviolet radiation damaging the skin. Our team at Hamill Dermatology is dedicated to promoting sun safety, educating our patients about the different types of skin cancer, and ultimately creating a dialogue about the disease that will help everyone going forward. We aim to be a resource that can help you better understand this disease so that you can make the best types of lifestyle choices going forward.
