The Compleat KiDZ Check Up is presented by Compleat Kidz, now open in Southern Village. Offering pediatric physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and ABA therapy services — Compleat KiDZ is devoted to sharing helpful information for raising healthy, happy kids from the area’s most trusted providers.
This month, the spotlight is on the Dermatology & Laser Center of Chapel Hill!
Speaking with Dr. Chris Adigun, of Chapel Hill’s Dermatology & Laser Center, this check up concerns the health of our body’s largest organ: the skin!
Protecting skin can prevent skin cancer, and it’s important to start healthy skincare habits early. Sun damage in childhood is by far the most significant contributor to cases of skin cancer in adulthood, so there’s plenty of sun safety tips that can make caring for your skin a breeze!
- Keep sunscreen right next to toothpaste, and make it part of a daily routine
- Utilize a mineral powder sunscreen for easy application and reapplication.
- Wear shirts, hats and other clothing with built-in sun protection during outside activities, or when in direct sunlight.
