Summer is here.

Unfortunately, so is skin cancer risk.

Too much unprotected exposure to the sun can give you more than a sun burn.

Rates of melanoma—the most dangerous form of skin cancer—have skyrocketed in recent years. This rise is happening even among Latinos and other dark-skinned populations.
