“Sunscreen!! Cleanse your face. Do not go to bed with makeup on!! It’s all about maintaining healthy skin, you have to work at it.”
Dads Deserve a Dose of Beauty, too!
Dermatology is for Men, too
When many men think of a dermatologist they automatically think of beauty routines and botox. As our patients know this is not the case. Seeing a dermatologist is vital to your health for many reasons from skin cancer screenings to acne help.
About 73,870 new melanomas will be diagnosed this year, and about 42,670 cases will be in men.
“According to a 2012 survey from The Skin Care Foundation, men’s knowledge of sun protection and skin cancer was far below that of women’s. Half of the respondents admitted to not using sunscreen in the past year and another 70% had no idea what skin cancer warning signs to look for. But, what’s most scary is men, not women, over the age of 50 are twice as likely to develop and die from melanoma.”– A Healthier Michigan
