DERMATOLOGY PHYSICIANS OF CONNECTICUT

Are your kids heading off to camp this summer? 👧🧒⛺ Because impetigo is highly contagious and easily spreads in settings where children are in close contact, it's critical that parents are familiar with the signs and symptoms. 👇👀 · · · #DermatologyPhysiciansOfConnecticut #Dermatology #Dermatologists #Impetigo #ImpetigoAwareness #SummerCamp #PediatricDermatology #PedictricDermatologist #PediatricDermatologists #SkinCareForKids #Connecticut #ConnecticutLife #LifeInConnecticut #ConnecticutSummer #SummerInConnecticut #SummerVibes #SummertimeVibes

It's (unofficially) summertime in Connecticut, which means it's time for beach outings along the Long Island Sound, hiking in the scenic hills, visiting local vineyards and attending the many concerts, fairs and festivals that make our state such a vibrant place to call home. 🏡 No matter what your summer plans entail, remember to prioritize sun safety and skin health... ☀️ Sunscreen: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher generously and regularly, especially when spending time outdoors. 🧢 Protective Clothing: Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats to shield your skin from the sun's harmful rays. 🌳 Seek Shade: Limit direct sun exposure, especially during peak hours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. 👎 Avoid Tanning Beds: Indoor tanning devices emit UV radiation that can damage the skin and increase the risk of skin cancer. 🔎 Check Your Skin: Regular self-examinations and professional screenings are vital for detecting skin cancer in its early stages. Schedule an annual skin check with our board-certified dermatologists online today to ensure you and the whole family have a healthy skin summer! https://lnkd.in/gbApb3DJ · · · #DermatologyPhysiciansOfConnecticut #Dermatology #Dermatologists #SunSafe #SunSafety #SunScreenEveryDay #SkinCancerAwareness #SkinCancer #SkinCancerAwarenessMonth #SkinCancerPrevention #MelanomaAwareness #MelanomaAwarenessMonth #Melanoma #MelanomaAwareness #MelanomaPrevention #SunSafeTips #Connecticut #ConnecticutLife #LifeInConnecticut #ConnecticutSummer #SummerInConnecticut #SummerVibes #SummertimeVibes

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
