🎗 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎗
Did you know that dermatologists can help with the early detection of skin changes that could be related to breast cancer? While mammograms and regular check-ups are essential, paying attention to your skin health is just as important.
Here’s how dermatology can help:
Skin Changes Near the Breast Area
Skin changes, like redness, dimpling, or new lumps on the breast, can sometimes indicate a more serious condition, including inflammatory breast cancer. If you notice any changes, don't wait – consult a dermatologist.
Breast Cancer and Skin Metastasis
Although rare, breast cancer can spread to the skin. A dermatologist can evaluate unusual skin lesions or growths to help detect potential metastasis early.
Self-Exams & Skin Checks
As part of your monthly self-breast exams, don’t forget to check the skin on and around your breasts. Look for visible changes such as redness, swelling, or unusual lumps.
Let’s make breast cancer awareness an ongoing conversation. Early detection and prevention are key! 💖
If you notice any unusual changes in your skin or breast, contact your healthcare provider or dermatologist right away. Early intervention save lives!
