The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 120,000 new cases of melanoma are diagnosed in the United States each year. Of those, 76,00 cases are considered invasive, with about 44,000 of those cases happening to men. Nearly 10,000 people die each year from this form of cancer.
There are a few ways to try and identify whether or not you have melanoma:
- They usually develop from or resemble moles
- Most are black or brown, but can also resemble skin color
- Regular visits with a dermatologist will help determine whether or not you have any symptoms
The large majority of Americans, 85% of them, struggle with acne at some point in their lives. A major reason for this is hidden inside your diet: sugary cereals and snacks can lead to inflammation inside the body and cause acne. Experts have also linked the consumption of dairy products to breakouts.
