Why Skin Checks Matter (Even When You Think You’re Fine)
You’d do anything for the people you love.
Your kids. Your partner. Your best friend. Your dog.
You’d fight for them. Protect them. Show up for them—no matter what.
But when it comes to you?
You put it off. You tell yourself that little spot can wait. You say, "It’s probably nothing."
This is your reminder to stop doing that.
Because when it comes to skin cancer, the sooner you act, the better the outcome. And that’s not fear—it’s hope.
You have more power than you think.
Here’s the Good News.
Awareness is working.
More people than ever are getting annual skin checks.
Melanoma survival rates are the highest they’ve ever been.
When we catch it early—and we often do—the survival rate is 99%.
More people are living longer, healthier lives because they caught melanoma early. That’s what skin checks do. That’s why we’re here.
You Deserve to Look Out for You.
A skin check isn’t just a chore. It’s how you stay ahead. It’s how you show up for yourself the way you show up for everyone else.
Here’s what we know:
✔ Melanoma doesn’t always look scary.
Sometimes it’s a faint pink spot. Sometimes it’s a freckle you never noticed before.
✔ It doesn’t always itch, hurt, or bleed.
But it’s there. And it’s growing.
✔ Your eyes can miss things. Ours won’t.
That’s why we check everywhere—scalp, nails, in between toes, behind ears.
And here’s the hopeful part: when you find it early, you can stop it.
The Numbers Tell a Hopeful Story.
One in five Americans will develop skin cancer.
One person dies of melanoma every hour—but far more survive because they took action early.
Early detection gives you a 99% survival rate.
That’s why we take skin checks seriously. That’s why we started the Shore Dermatology Skin Check Program—to make it easy for you to stay ahead.
What To Do Next:
✔ Check your skin—look for anything new, changing, or just “off.”
✔ Book your skin exam—our Skin Check Program makes it simple.
✔ Don’t wait. Because early action = peace of mind.
📅 Schedule your skin check today. It might just save your life.
You’d do anything for them. Now do this—for you.
Hope starts with action. And you’ve got this.
