Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds can lead to Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC). This common type of skin cancer develops from the uncontrolled growth of basal cells in the skin, often in areas like the face, neck and arms. ☀️ UV radiation damages the DNA in skin cells, causing mutations that trigger tumor formation over time. But there's good news! You can take steps to reduce your risk... 🧴 Use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, and reapply every 2 hours. 👒 Wear protective clothing, hats and sunglasses when outdoors. 🌳 Seek shade, especially during peak sun hours (10 am - 4 pm). 🔎 And regular skin checks are critical, as early detection means better outcomes. If you notice any suspicious changes, like new growths, sores that don't heal or changes in existing moles, don't hesitate to schedule a skin check with us. https://lnkd.in/gbApb3DJ · · · #DermatologyPhysiciansOfConnecticut #Dermatology #DermatologyPhysicians #SkinCancer #SkinCancerAwarenessMonth #SkinCancerAwareness #BasalCellCarcinoma #BasalCellCancer #SkinCancerPrevention #SunSafety #SunSafe #SunscreenEveryday #Connecticut #CT

Like most skin concerns, rosacea does not always have a one-size-fits-all set of symptoms. In fact, there are different types of rosacea, most commonly... ✨ Erythematotelangiectatic - facial redness and appearance of tiny blood vessels. ✨ Papulopustular - redness with acne-like pimples and blemishes. ✨ Rhinophymatous - thickened, bumpy, red skin, usually on the nose and central cheeks. ✨ Ocular - dry eyes and eye irritation. Understanding the unique diagnostic criteria for each type of rosacea is crucial. This is why it's vital to consult with a board-certified dermatology provider. They can help determine the best course of action for your skin's needs. You can read more about these types of rosacea and make appointments online on our website: https://buff.ly/49X0Fcn! · · · #DermatologyPhysiciansOfConnecticut #RosaceaAwareness #RosaceaAwarenessMonth #SkinHealth #Dermatology #TypesOfRosacea #Rosacea #RosaceaTreatment #CT #Connecticut
