Tanned skin is damaged skin. We need to shatter the myth that tanned skin is a sign of health. The Surgeon General has issued a call to action to prevent skin cancer. And everyone can play a role in skin safety.  Even though most skin cancers can be prevented, rates of skin cancer, including melanoma, are increasing in the United States. Nearly 5 million people in the U.S. are treated for skin cancer every year, at an average annual cost of $8.1 billion. It is also one of the most common types of cancer among U.S. teens and young adults. Help spread the word. Join the #SGSunSafe Thunderclap.  Learn more about the Surgeon General's Call to Action to Prevent Skin Cancer and how you can play a role in reducing skin cancer.
