October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀
We sat down with Dr. Moen, breast surgeon at Atlanta Breast Care, to talk about the connection between skin and breast health and why paying attention to changes in your body matters.
Many of the same habits can help lower your risk of both breast and skin cancer, including eating a healthy diet, staying active, limiting alcohol, not smoking, and protecting your skin from the sun.
Family history matters, too. Certain genetic mutations can increase the risk of both cancers, so if either runs in your family, talk with your physician about genetic counseling and appropriate screening.
And when it comes to your skin, don’t ignore changes. New or unusual changes on the breast or surrounding skin should always be checked by a medical professional.
The takeaway? Early detection matters. Know your family history, stay up to date with recommended screenings, and don’t wait to get something checked if it feels different.
