In recognition of Skin Cancer and Melanoma Awareness Month, Bliss Dermatology + Wellness is rallying the local community to take action against the rising rates of skin cancer through its Skin Check Challenge. Throughout the month of May, individuals are encouraged to schedule their annual skin exams with Bliss’s expert dermatology providers at their Englewood and Venice locations. The practice has set a goal of completing 500 skin checks, welcoming both new and existing patients to participate. Skin cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States, yet it is highly preventable and very treatable when detected early. “Routine skin exams play a critical role in identifying unusual moles or spots before they progress into something more serious, often before any symptoms are noticeable,” said Dr. Michelle Pennie, founder and owner of Bliss Dermatology + Wellness.
