December 1st Beginning of December Orange
December 1st Beginning of December Orange is a skin cancer awareness campaign held annually in Brazil throughout the month of December. The campaign aims to alert the population about the importance of prevention and early diagnosis of the disease, as well as to encourage healthy habits related to sun exposure. The campaign was created in 2014 by the Brazilian Society of Dermatology (SBD), in response to the increase in the number of skin cancer cases in the country. The month of December was chosen because it coincides with the beginning of summer in Brazil, when sun exposure tends to be greater, increasing the risk of burns and, consequently, skin cancer.
