Understanding & Preventing Skin Cancer
Prevention is better than cure
Remember those sunbathing days in your 20s? Managing the damage now can help you avoid becoming another skin cancer statistic. Did you know that melanoma comes in various forms? While they can be black or brown, they may also appear blue, grey, pink, or even skin-coloured. So, what should we look out for to catch them early?
Many people are familiar with the ‘slip, slop, slap’ message, but mixed signals from influencers and the media can be confusing. Should we use sunscreen or not? And what about vitamin D?
Regular head-to-toe skin checks can help detect cancers early, but who should get checked, how often, and what does it involve?
