Published 8 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
In this segment, host Phil Tower welcomes Dr. David Doud, a primary care physician with Trinity Health Medical Group in Grand Rapids.
Dr. Doud joined us to help debunk some common skin safety myths, such as the notion that a "base tan" is protective or that sunscreen is unnecessary on cloudy days.
Some of the questions we discussed included:
Do I need to apply sunscreen on Cloudy Days?
If I have naturally darker brown skin, do I need to wear some protection?
If I already have a base tan, do I need to wear sun protection?
How often should I reapply sunscreen?
Does a baseball cap protect my head from harmful sun exposure?
Dr. Doud also spoke with us about the importance of educating oneself about skin cancer indicators.
