Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun are the main cause of skin cancer. UV damage can also cause wrinkles and blotches or spots on your skin.

- Stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
- Use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

- Check your skin once a month for changes.
