Re: Summer Skin Care Article

Editor,
While reading the Forum’s timely article on summer skin care, I noticed some inaccuracies. The peak hours for sun exposure are started to be from 10am to 2pm, but that should be 11am to 3pm, courtesy of daylight savings time. Another misstatement concerns deaths from melanoma. With over 500 thousand minutes in a year, yearly melanoma deaths of 8 to 9 thousand a year does not equate to one a minute. Please check your articles to ensure their accuracy.
