Leah's story
Meet Leah, a melanoma survivor and WATSKIN community member. Read on to hear Leah's inspiring story of her melanoma journey.
"In October 2019, my life took an unexpected turn when I received a diagnosis of malignant melanoma; my years of not wearing sunscreen, protective clothing and using tanning beds caught up with me. What began as a daunting journey filled with fear and uncertainty soon transformed into a testament of resilience and courage once I turned my scars into my superpowers and started embracing my natural skin tone. Through countless biopsies, skin checks and moments of vulnerability since 2019, I navigated the complexities of melanoma with unwavering determination and the support of loved ones outside and within the melanoma community. Today, as a melanoma survivor, I carry my journey as a reminder of the strength found within and the importance of cherishing each moment and loving the skin that I am in by wearing sunscreen, sun safe clothing brands and getting skin checks regularly at the dermatologist."
