A new year is here, and so is The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Road to Healthy Skin Tour, presented by AVEENO® and Rite Aid. The Tour, now in its third year, provides free, full-body skin exams by local dermatologists, and held its first screening of 2010 on March 29 in Jacksonville, Fl.  On June 21st the bus stopped in Oak Brook, Illinois at the Oak Brook Family Recreation Center.  Dr. Jeffrey Hsu and Dr. Alix Charles were on hand to provide free skin screenings.  Click here to view the tour journal and to receive valuable information on skin cancer facts and prevention.

The Tour bus (a 38-foot RV with two exam rooms) will make an estimated 80 stops in 24 states.  Be sure to check this site regularly for news from the road, including schedule updates; pictures from our photo gallery; tour statistics, and more.

Since 2008, 224 dermatologists have donated their time and expertise to provide free full-body skin screenings to over 6,500 people and discovered 116 suspected melanomas. Since melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer the tour has potentially saved over 100 lives. Dermatologists have also found 1,198 suspected actinic keratoses (the most common precancer); 574 suspected basal cell carcinomas, and 189 suspected squamous cell carcinomas. The American Academy of Dermatology recognized the Road to Healthy Skin Tour’s efforts when it awarded The Skin Cancer Foundation a Gold Triangle in 2009. The Tour has also been featured on both Good Morning America and TODAY.

Additional sponsorship for the Tour is provided by Columbia Sportswear, DUSA Pharmaceuticals, Inc.®, Solar Gard® Window Film, and Fitness magazine.
