NORTH CAROLINA -- More skin cancers will be diagnosed in the U.S. this year than all other cancers combined, according to dermatologists at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.

• Doctors recommend reapplying sunscreen every two hours
• They say to make sure to use products with at least 50 SPF
• The sun's rays can be harmful regardless of complexion

With such high numbers, doctors want to make sure people are protecting their skin this summer. Experts recommend avoiding overexposure to the sun and reapplying sunscreen with at least 50 SPF, every two hours.

They also say the sun can be harmful no matter what your complexion.

"It doesn't matter what your skin type is, whether or not you're a fair skinned individual or someone that has an olive complexion or someone who has really dark skin. Everyone can get a sunburn and i think thats a misconception," Dr. William Huang, a dermatologist at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, said.

Experts say more than five million skin cancers are diagnosed in the U.S. every year.
