About this session

Men can experience significant sun exposure through outdoor work, commuting, sport, travel and everyday activity, often without thinking of it as a health risk. Over time, repeated ultraviolet exposure can contribute to premature skin aging and increase the risk of skin cancer.

Skin cancer does not always look the same. Melanoma may appear as a new or changing mole, while other skin cancers can develop as persistent growths, sores, scaly patches or areas that repeatedly bleed or fail to heal.

This session explores men's skin health from a prevention and early-awareness perspective. Attendees examine sun protection, common risk factors, what changes to look for and when a skin concern should move from observation to professional assessment.
