CONFORMANCE

By Adam J.Mamelak MD, FRCPC, FAADSkin cancer is on the rise, affecting more Americans over the past three

decades than all other cancers combined, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. The good news is that you can do much to prevent it. “The danger in skin cancer is gravest when it goes undetected,” says Dr. Adam Mamelak of Sanova Dermatology in Austin. “It is extremely treatable, and in a large sense preventable when caught early.”

To help reduce your risk, follow these sun-smart practices. 5 WAYS TO REDUCE SKIN CANCER RISK:

1. See your physician every year for a professional skin exam. Regular total-body checkups are the best way to make sure your skin is healthy and stays that way. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends annual skin exams. You can receive a FREE skin cancer screening through 2012 at Sanova Dermatology, 12319 N. Mopac in Austin. To schedule your free screening, call (512) 837-3376; no purchase or insurance coverage is necessary.

2. Avoid tanning and UV tanning booths. Even occasional sunbed use almost triples your chances of developing melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Young people – including teenagers – are especially sensitive to the ultraviolet radiation from tanning booths.

3. Seek the shade and do not burn. Stay in the shade especiallybetween the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun’s rays are often strongest. Avoid getting burned; even a single sunburn increases your risk of developing melanoma.

4. Cover up with clothing and UV-blocking sunglasses. Protect your skin with densely woven and bright- or dark- colored fabrics, which offer the best defense. Wear a hat with a brim of 3” or greater to protect the face. Use wraparound sunglasses that block 99-100% of the sun’s UV rays, which helps prevent cataracts and melanomas of the eye.

5. Use a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen. Every day, year-round, use abroad spectrum sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection and an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 15 or higher. For extended outdoor activity, use a water-resistant broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more. Apply 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of sunscreen to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside. Reapply every 40-80 minutes or immediately after swimming or excessive sweating.

Windermere Lakes

Congratulations!

To the Kaur Kulwinder Family for being the September Yard of the Month winner. As you drive by 12014 Newport Shore you will notice the clean layout of this yard. Toward the front you will see two tall queen palms circled with white stacked stone holding a mixture of summer rock rose gently sprinkled with marigolds, caladiums and periwinkles.

Along the walkway paralleling the house you will find that amazing same white stacked stone edging that creates the manicured look of this yard. As you walk the wrap-around flower bed you see a mixture of red blooms from the miniature fire bush dance in the breeze with a few fox fern, ivy fern and more golden marigolds. A well placed bush of yellow esperanza blooms mixed with caladiums make this a happy house to view.

These home owners had their home built eleven years ago and show they are still in love with the home and the area. A Big Thanks and Congratulations again for making our community beautiful.

Enjoy spending your gift card on more flowers as it gets closer to the fall planting season.
