Introduction: Skin cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the world. The expected number of non-melanoma skin cancer new cases, for each year of the 2020-2022 triennium, is 83,770 in men and 93,160 in women and, concerning melanoma skin cancer, the estimated number of new cases is 4,200 in men and 4,250 in women. There are several risk factors for the disease, highlighting unprotected sun exposure as the main factor. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of the National Skin Cancer Prevention Campaign (CNPCP), in the city of Alfenas-Minas Gerais, in the years 2014 to 2018. Methods: Documentary research on the National Skin Cancer Fight Day campaigns reports, between 2014 and 2018, made available by the Brazilian Society of Dermatology. Results: A total of 1291 dermatological examinations were performed, and 108 cases of skin cancer were diagnosed. Among those examined, about 58.4% exposed themselves to the sun without protection. Women were the majority in the exams, representing a percentage of approximately 68.8%. The number of people at risk for skin cancer remained higher during all the years analyzed, totaling 756 individuals. Final considerations: The CNPCP was important for examining and diagnosing patients in the city of Alfenas during the analyzed period, but its data also showed that the sun exposure care by the population still needs to improve, especially among the male public, who participated less in the analyzed campaigns.
