"We all know the risks of HIV, but did you know that hepatitis and HPV are also linked to unsafe sexual practices?" dr. Tirgari said.

Sunscreen

Finally, sunscreen should be worn daily, regardless of the season, to lower the risk of developing skin cancer. 

"You should wear it every time you leave the house, whether the sun is shining or not," the doctor stated. 

dr Tirgari continued: "Skin cancer rates have skyrocketed and sunscreen is your best protection. I use it almost every day." 

Sunscreen should be applied 20 minutes before outdoor activities and should be reapplied every two hours.
