AVEENO is offering free skin cancer screenings all across America, during The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Road to Healthy Skin Tour this year. Since 2008, more than 300 dermatologists have donated their time and expertise to provide skin cancer screenings to more than 10,000 people in their local communities—and if you want to be one of them, you can! Just check the schedule in the widget below:
By partnering up with Rite Aid and The Skin Cancer Foundation, the AVEENO tour bus will make approximately 80 stops in 24 states. The tour bus is a state-of-the-art, 38-foot customized RV with two exam rooms. Pretty cool, huh? The best part though—it’s TOTALLY FREE. The Tour, now in its fourth year, provides free full-body skin exams by local volunteer dermatologists—and they are making a huge difference.
According to The Skin Cancer Foundation…
Over the past three years, our volunteer dermatologists have discovered nearly 200 suspected melanomas, potentially saving many lives. In addition, these doctors have found 2,202 suspected actinic keratoses (the most common pre-cancer); 970 suspected basal cell carcinomas, and 362 suspected squamous cell carcinomas. They have also helped educate the public about enjoying sun safe lifestyles, as well as the importance of doing self-exams and having annual dermatological check-ups.
Those are some staggering stats, aren’t they? I’ve had experience with people I love having skin cancer, so I can’t encourage you to take part in this enough! For more info, check out the Tour page. If you’re in Southern California this week, you’re in luck—the Tour is likely in your area! But if you’re not, don’t worry…just check the schedule for the date/location closest to you. This goes beyond just wearing sunscreen, so please get checked!
