When was the last time you had a skin check?
It’s always a good idea to stay proactive about your health, including getting a skin check. Skin cancers are one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in Australia every year, and when caught early most can be successfully treated.
Skin cancer, including melanoma, doesn’t take a break in winter
Regular skin checks – even when we’re rugged up in the colder weather – ensure that any suspicious moles or lesions are caught early. Early detection is essential for effective treatment, and keeping a consistent schedule for skin checks is the best way to stay ahead.
Preparing for a skin check in winter is similar to any other time of the year
It’s a good idea to develop the habit of self-checking your skin at home to keep on top of any changes to your skin. During your self-checks, keep track of any skin changes or concerns to discuss with your healthcare provider. You can book a professional skin check, usually with your healthcare provider annually or more often if you have a higher risk.
