You’ve heard me talk about my basal cell carcinomas before. And I’m going to keep talking about them, if need be. If just one person remembers to put on sunscreen with a high SPF, I’m happy.

We are happy to hear that Joe Biden successfully had basal cell carcinoma removed. When caught early, skin cancer is highly treatable. Remember to see a board-certified dermatologist if you notice any spots that are new, changing, itching, or bleeding.
