Skin-vestigating with Dr. Ross Harris: How to be Prepared and Still Enjoy Time in the Sun

Today we look at an important issue, one that's particularly critical to those of us living near the beach and having year-round fun in the sun. Skin damage is something to be very aware of, but Dr. Ross Harris from Naples, FL is here to give us some good advice, what to look out for and how to best protect ourselves.You may be curious about what exactly a dermatologist does, what happens when you go into the clinic and how different types of issues and spots are dealt with. Dr. Ross tells us about the kinds of cases that he sees in his office, and leaves us well-informed and prepared to look after our skin when we're outside.Much of the skin issues us seniors have these days stem from when we were kids, playing outside, at the beach or the lake, with no thought towards protection or skin cancer. The legacy of that is what we have to deal with now, but it just means a bit of extra vigilance, something we're all probably pretty used to anyway! And we can always keep sharing what we've learned, including from Dr. Ross today, with the younger members of our family so that they know how to look after themselves too.Learn more about Dr. Ross Harris and his clinic: https://www.harrisdermatology.com/We'll be back next week with one last episode of Season 1, stay tuned!---Reach out to the show by visiting our website,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠weareoldpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and send me your thoughts and suggestions at [email protected].
