In a Facebook post this week, the health and fitness personality Richard Simmons announced he had been treated for basal cell carcinoma. It was only after seeing a dermatologist that Mr. Simmons was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. While it can be difficult for patients to identify, basal cell carcinoma — which is estimated to affect several million people in the United States each year — is very treatable.

Similarly, a previous study published in JAMA in 2014 suggested the carcinogenic risk from UV lamps is too small to stop people from getting their nails done. Consider bringing fingerless gloves and sunscreen to the nail salonApplying sunscreen to your fingers and hands can help protect them from UV exposure.
