Skin Cancer and Sun Protection

Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that begins in melanocytes. It may begin in a mole or other pigmented tissues, such as in the eye or in the intestines. In 2022, in Florida, the age-adjusted incidence rate was 28 cases per 100,000 population in Florida. In 2024, there were 756 deaths from melanoma. Also in 2024, 8.4% of Florida adults reported that they were ever told that they have skin cancer. In 2021, 11.8% of high school students reported that they mostly always wear sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. To protect the skin and eyes from the sun, the National Cancer Institute suggests using sunscreen, staying out of the sun for long periods of time and long sleeve shirts, long pants, sun hats, and sunglasses when working outdoors.
