WORLD SKIN HEALTH DAY

Celebrating World Skin Health Day with SKIN AND CANCER FOUNDATION, INC. at VLMC OPD! 🌍

In honor of World Skin Health Day, our SCFI dermatology residents and consultants hosted a lively and interactive lay forum right here at the VLMC Outpatient Department. From simple skincare tips to recognizing common skin conditions and raising awareness about skin cancer, the day was packed with practical knowledge and inspiring conversations.

Our participants lit up the event with their curiosity, insightful questions, and eagerness to learn — making it a true celebration of community and skin health. Special thanks to Dr. Verallo-Rowell for generously sharing her expertise and answering our patients’ questions with warmth and clarity.

Here’s to healthy skin for everyone — because caring for your skin is caring for yourself. 💙
