As sunscreen misinformation spreads online, dermatologists face real-life impact of online trends

With the holiday weekend in full swing, the anti-sunscreen movement's recent spike is worrying dermatologists.

"It was not like this before," Dr. Jeanine Downie, a board-certified dermatologist with her own practice in New Jersey told CBS News Confirmed. "I see easily six patients per week that are anti-sunscreen, where it used to be maybe one every other week or one a month. And now it's just gotten crazy."

Downie says in the last two weeks she's diagnosed three squamous cell and two malignant melanomas, both of which can turn cancerous if not caught early. "And that's me, just one little dermatologist," she said.
