Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States and finding spots that could be cancerous is as simple as looking at your skin.

When examining the skin, look for the ABCDEs of Melanoma and make an appointment with a board-certified dermatologist if any moles exhibit these signs:

A – Asymmetry: One half of the spot is unlike the other half.

B – Border: The spot has an irregular, scalloped or poorly defined border.

C – Color: The spot has varying colors from one area to the next, such as shades of tan, brown, or black, or with areas of white, red, or blue.

D – Diameter: Melanomas are usually greater than 6mm, or about the size of a pencil eraser when they are diagnosed, but they can be smaller.

E – Evolving: A mole or spot on your skin that looks different from the rest or is changing in size, shape, or color.

To check your skin, looking at the front and back of your body. When examining your own skin, stand in front of a mirror. Examine your skin by following these steps:

• Raise the arms and examine the right and left sides of the body.
• Then bend your elbows and look carefully at your forearms, upper underarms.
• Next, examine the back of your legs, spaces between your toes and your soles.
• Then, examine those hard‐to see areas like your back, buttocks and the top ofyour head. Use a mirror to inspect the back of your neck and scalp, parting your hair for a better view.

“Current estimates show one in five Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime, so it’s important to be familiar with your skin, especially your moles,” said Dr. Rohrer. “Catching skin cancer early is key for successful treatment, so check your skin regularly and see a board-certified dermatologist if you spot anything suspicious.”

In addition to increasing your risk of skin cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, and basal cell carcinoma, sun exposure causes most of the skin changes we think of as "normal aging".

Ultraviolet light damages the elastin fibers in the skin, causing it to sag, stretch, and lose the ability to come back after stretching. It also causes the skin to bruise and tear more easily and take longer to heal.

Broad Spectrum Sunscreens can protect you from further skin damage, but what can you do about the damage that’s already done?

The Skincare Boutique at O’Donoghue Dermatology now carries the only sunblock that protects AND repairs with an enzyme that actually “gobbles up” sun damage.

Eryfotona Actinica® by ISDIN addresses existing actinic damage (damage caused by light) with DNA Repairsomes® and antioxidants, and it helps prevent additional sun damage with 11% zinc oxide.

SARASOTA, Florida (February 6, 2018)

Castle Connolly Medical, publisher of the most trusted listing of Top Doctors® in the nation, has just selected Sarasota Dermatologist, Dr. J. Morgan O'Donoghue, as one of the Top Doctors in the Sarasota, FL area for 2018.

Castle Connolly Top Doctors® must be nominated by fellow board-certified MDs and DOs. Of the tens of thousands of nominations the company receives each year, only a small percentage is ultimately chosen for inclusion in the list. Castle Connolly’s physician-led research team narrows down the nominee’s based on their medical education, training, hospital appointments, disciplinary histories, and more.

“This recognition is especially meaningful because you are nominated by your peers and it also comes as we continue to celebrate my 18th year in practice”, said Dr. O’Donoghue.

Castle Connolly Medical identifies top doctors across the United States then provides consumers with detailed information about their education, training, and special expertise in their printed guides, online directories, and through partnerships with over 50 city and regional magazines and major newspapers. Doctors do not and cannot pay to be selected as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor.

Castle Connolly's President and CEO, Dr. John Connolly, had this to say about Dr. O'Donoghue's recognition, "Only a small percent of physicians are selected to be Castle Connolly Top Doctors®. Dr. O'Donoghue was nominated by physician peers and selected by our physician-led research team at Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. Selection is an impressive accomplishment worthy of recognition. My congratulations to Dr. O'Donoghue."
