Skin Cancer Awareness Month: How to Spot Early Signs of Skin Cancer
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to check in on your skin.

The Truth About Tanning: Safe Alternatives for a Sun-Kissed Look
There’s something about a sun-kissed glow that just feels good.
It can make your skin look more even, your features more defined, and give you that “just got back from vacation” confidence—even if you haven’t left Indiana.

So here’s the honest truth: the traditional way of tanning comes with long-term consequences that aren’t worth the short-term glow.
The good news? Summit Dermatology in Medford, OR offers better options now—ones that give you the look you want without damaging your skin in the process.
