Desiree Lee+FollowSun Safety Hacks You Need Melanoma cases are spiking, especially for folks working outdoors—like farmers! Did you know outdoor workers are up to 3.5x more likely to get skin cancer? The biggies for protection: avoid peak sun (11am-3pm), slather on SPF 30+ (don’t forget behind your ears!), and rock those long sleeves and wide-brim hats. Also, do the A-B-C-D-Es when checking your moles: Asymmetry, Borders, Colour, Diameter, Evolution. Spot something weird? Get it checked! Early detection = way better outcomes. #MelanomaAwareness #SunSafety #SkinHealth #FarmLife #CheckYourMoles #Health00Share
Kristi Key+FollowWould You Check Your Nails for Cancer?A mom thought a brown streak on her nail was just a vitamin issue—turns out, it was a rare and deadly skin cancer called subungual melanoma. She only got it checked after seeing a TikTok, and it probably saved her life! If you spot a weird dark line or streak on your nail that doesn’t go away, don’t ignore it. Nail polish can hide warning signs, so take a sec to check under there. Early detection is everything! #MelanomaAwareness #CheckYourNails #HealthAlert #SkinCancer #RealStories #Health352Share

grayamber+FollowWhen 'just anxiety' turned out to be cancerIt's been a year since my 'suspicious mole' turned out to be melanoma. When it appeared in 2023, I knew something was wrong but was dismissed as anxious. I'm still angry at everyone who didn't listen. If you feel something's off with your body, push for answers. Your instincts matter. #TrustYourGut #MedicalGaslighting #MelanomaAwareness #AdvocateForYourself #Health #MentalHealth20663Share
