Save money on a pricey New York dermatologist and get a free skin cancer screening from volunteer dermatologists courtesy of the Skin Cancer Foundation, who are doing a 35-stop tour around the Mid-Atlantic this summer.

The Skin Care Foundation says their volunteers have caught more than 8,500 suspected cancers in the past seven years, including more than 350 suspected cases of melanoma. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., they said, but is the easiest to cure if caught early.
