WashU Medicine Dermatologist Featured in HuffPost Story on Skin Cancer Risk

A new HuffPost story spotlights WashU Medicine dermatologist Aubriana McEvoy, MD, MS, FAAD, of Siteman Cancer Center, and the everyday habits that can quietly add up to skin cancer risk over time. The article,  It’s Not Beach Days That Worry Skin Cancer Doctors — It’s These Everyday Activities, explores how routine sun exposure — not just major burns — can contribute to skin damage, and why prevention matters year-round.

In the story, McEvoy highlights the risks that often fly under the radar: outdoor jobs, time spent driving, popular hobbies like golf and fishing, and missed areas such as the scalp part, ears and hands. She also explains why immunosuppression can significantly increase the risk of skin cancer, and why it’s so important to make sun protection part of a daily routine.

Here, McEvoy shares even more about skin cancer risk from ordinary sun exposure, and she offers practical advice about sunscreen, skin checks and the often-overlooked places people forget to protect.
