How Carrie Preston’s Shocking Skin Cancer Battle Transformed Her Health and Defied All Odds at 58
Not to be outdone by her fashion-forward Elsbeth character, Preston added that if she’s going to wear something on her face, it’s darn well going to be pretty. “I went and got some jewels [adhesive gems for her scar strip].

How to prevent skin cancer
Basal cell carcinoma is highly preventable with smart sun protection, promises Dr. Rambhia. “Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher, wearing hats and protective clothing and avoiding tanning beds are key. Even incidental sun exposure—like walking the dog or sitting by a window—adds up over time,” she cautions. “If something new, changing or non-healing shows up on your skin, it’s time to see a board-certified dermatologist,” she adds. “Early detection can make a world of difference.”
