Dr. Jonathan Leventhal and @yalederm residents recently screened local firefighters for #skincancer due to the high risk occupational hazards that they regularly come into contact with. “This risk is likely due to environmental risk factors such as skin absorption of combustible carcinogens as well as cumulative #UV exposure [from spending long periods of time outdoors],” says Leventhal.

#Melanomas are the deadliest form of #SkinCancer, but all types of skin cancer are on the rise.
Check your skin for new growths at least once a month and contact your doctor about anything that changes in color or size.
