Melanoma Mortality Drops Where Dermatologists Are in High Supply: Read the Data
New data shows a powerful link: the more dermatologists in your area, the lower your risk of dying from melanoma.

In fact, melanoma mortality kept dropping as access to dermatologists increased—debunking past assumptions.
Access isn’t just about convenience—it could save lives.
