What do crop care and skin care have in common? The analogy is obvious - for crops to be healthy and abundant, they need proper care, exactly like our skin.

People don't realize that frequent exposure to the open air with unprotected skin can lead to dangerous lesions, including melanoma. That's why, together with the Melanoma Academy, we are trying to reach out to various social and professional groups to build awareness about the prevention of nevi," explainsProfessor Piotr Rutkowski, MD, Head of the Department of Tumors of Soft Tissues, Bones and Melanomas at the Mar...
