Nurses Notes
Cindy Hoffman RN, BSN
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. Even though healthy skin is renewed every day, you can't change the damage to skin that results from overexposure to sunlight. The best way to prevent skin cancer is to avoid the sun, cover, up, and use a sunscreen with a SPF of 15 or greater. Remember you can still burn on cloudy days, under the water, and in the winter. Tanning beds can be just as harmful to your skin as the sun.
A serious sign of sun damage is a small, irregular, and scaly bump called an actinic keratosis, a precancerous lesion. Early signs of damage can include sunburn and tanning followed by wrinkling and development of basal (the most common form of skin cancer) or squamous cell carcinoma (appears most often on sun-exposed areas, such as the ears, face, lips, mouth or the back of the hands). Malignant melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer because it can spread quickly throughout the body. Melanoma can appear anywhere on the body, not just sun-exposed areas. When detected early basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma have a cure rate of greater than 95 percent.
To check your body for skin cancer remember the ADCD's of Melanoma: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color, and Diameter of moles. Other warning signs to look for are moles that are scaly, oozing, or bleeding, itchiness, tenderness or pain. If you have any concerns about a skin spot please contact your primary care physician.
Dear Parents,
May 10 is School Nurse Day, with an important reminder of how our school nurses help your students receive health care through our School-Based Health Centers.
I hope you will listen to this Talbot Spy video about how Choptank Health is reinventing the School Nurse’s Office.
Our School-Based Health Care partners at Choptank Community Health are making it easier to address your student’s urgent care needs, along with services including diagnosing illness and behavioral health, writing prescriptions, performing lab tests, providing sports physicals, and more.
Be sure to call your school nurse to schedule an appointment, or register your student for School-Based Health Care by reaching out to our offices or going to www.choptankhealth.org/schoolbased.
