 I'm Kim Buschoff, Family Science Specialist for NDSU Extension and I've recently had surgery to remove skin cancer from the bridge of my nose. Did you know skin cancer risks increase as you age due to accumulated exposure to UV radiation and that it takes as few as five blistering sunburns between the ages of 15 and 20 years old to increase your risk of developing melanoma? As a mom and grandma I keep sunscreen next to the front door and remind my family to use it and reapply regularly. We also limit outdoor time between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Please take steps to minimize your family's risk by paying attention to each other's skin and wearing sunscreen on your body and face including the tops of your ears and your nose.
