OHSU has created a free training designed for skin care/health professionals — hair dressers, massage therapists, estheticians, tattoo artists (to name a few) — to help spot warning signs of potentially cancerous spots. Spotting something that doesn't look right, and encouraging follow-up care can save a life! Visit www.startseeingmelanoma.com/skincrew.
Are you a skin-aware professional? You could save a life with a keen eye and a willingness to speak up. If you notice skin changes on a client, tell them and encourage them to visit their healthcare provider. Join the #SkinCrew.
