Follow these two steps to look after your skin all year round

·       Summer Protect

·       Winter Detect

​

Every year, in Australia:
• skin cancers account for around 80% of all newly diagnosed cancers
• the majority of skin cancers are caused by exposure to the sun
• GPs have over 1 million patient consultations per year for skin cancer
• the incidence of skin cancer is one of the highest in the world, two to three times the rates in Canada, the US and the UK.

​

Skin cancer occurs when skin cells are damaged, for example, by overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Become familiar with the look of your skin, so you pick up any changes that might suggest a skin cancer. Look for:

• any crusty, non-healing sores
• small lumps that are red, pale or pearly in colour
• new spots, freckles or any moles changing in colour, thickness or shape over a period of weeks to months (especially those dark brown to black, red or blue-black in colour).

 

Prevention and early detection saves lives!
