Radiodermatitis

Radiodermatitis is a skin disease associated with prolonged exposure to radiation. It is most commonly found in people working in the medical field who worked extensively with imaging devices. New cases are less common now than they were at the advent of these technologies, as the long term impact of radiation is better understood. (From the Wikpedia article Radiodermatitis.)
