What to Know About Skin Cancer During COVID-19

What to Know About Skin Cancer During COVID-19

Andrew Alexis, MD, MPH, discusses what you need to know about skin cancer during COVID-19. He provides an overview of what skin cancer is, the different types, and the warning signs—or “ABCDs”—of skin cancer. He discusses how to protect and evaluate your own skin as preventive procedures, and what to do if you suspect you have skin cancer. He also provides guidance on getting dermatological care during COVID-19, including in-person visits and telemedicine. And as we get back to the “new normal,” he offers suggestions about how to enjoy getting some sun after sheltering in place so long.
