Wearing Flip-Flops, Baseball Caps May Increase Risk Of Skin Cancer

Flip-flops and baseball caps often define one's wardrobe in the summer. But there is a problem with these summertime fashion staples. Caps and sandals often leave the tips of the ears and the tops of the feet dangerously exposed to sun damage. The potential for skin cancers in those areas are real, especially on the tips of the ears. These areas of the body are frequently overlooked when people apply sunscreen and have little protection against the sun's rays.
