SKIN CANCER AWARENESS IN MAY






May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. People who have POTS often have autoimmune disease as an underlying cause. And people with autoimmune disease have a higher risk for all types of cancer including skin cancer and lymphoma. 

I can tell you from personal experience, it's not fun to have chunks carved out of you and then have to wear makeup to cover the scars. I have a couple of scars that are bad enough that I tell people I have been in a knife fight. 

Wear your sunblock people.

  1. A tribal sleeve tattoo is not the type of ink work that you can rely on generic online artwork for. There is too much at stake when it comes to something this detailed and prominent on your body. The last thing you want to do is realize that what you got is not exactly what you thought it would be.canmore alopecia treatments
