The Hawai’i Skin Cancer Coalition’s mission is to provide clear, concise messages on skin cancer prevention and early detection for both the public and health professionals.
Skin is essential for protecting the body in different ways. Learn about the three layers of skin: epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis.
Growths on the skin are relatively common. Most are benign (not cancerous), but some growths become malignant (cancerous).
Learn what common medical terms about skin cancer mean.
Learn how chronic sun exposure can lead to “skin aging” and damage to cells.
Learn about non-cancerous skin conditions, like moles and seborrheic keratoses.
The Hawai’i Skin Cancer Coalition hosts skin screenings and informational sessions.
