Committed to Raising Awareness for Skin Cancer Prevention

The rate of melanoma in Spokane County is declining, but vigilance is key. May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and the Board-Certified Dermatologists at Advanced Dermatology & Skin Surgery—Dr. Paul Dunn, Dr. Staci Hestdalen, and Dr. J. Keith Parker—are dedicated to educating the community about sun safety and debunking harmful social media skin care myths. 

Skin cancer remains one of the most common cancers in the U.S., with 9,500 people diagnosed daily. Early detection is critical. “I remind my patients to wear sunscreen whenever they’re outside and to encourage their loved ones to do the same,” says Dr. Dunn. “Spokane residents should perform regular skin checks and see a Board-Certified Dermatologist for anything suspicious.” 

Despite Washington’s mild climate, UV protection is essential. Sunscreen, protective clothing, and sunglasses help reduce the risk of skin cancer. Dr. Hestdalen emphasizes instilling these habits early. Meanwhile, Dr. Parker warns against misinformation online—when used correctly, sunscreen lowers the risk of skin cancer by up to 50%. 

“It’s never too late to adopt sun-safe habits or address sun damage,” adds Dr. Dunn. Advanced Dermatology & Skin Surgery is committed to exceptional care, providing expert guidance for prevention, detection, and treatment.
