Melanoma develops in the cells that
produce melanin — the pigment
that gives your skin its color.
Melanoma is the most serious type
of skin cancer, but also the most
treatable when caught early.
Although the exact cause of this
cancer isn’t completely clear, limiting
exposure to UV radiation can help
reduce your risk. This can involve
wearing clothes that cover your skin
and head, as well as wearing an SPF
30 sunscreen, even when it’s cloudy .
See a dermatologist to have any
unusual moles or lesions checked.
