Having a skin check during and after pregnancy (including breastfeeding), is safe and actually advisable as the skin on many women changes during that period. This is due to physical stretch of skin, but also the actions of the pregnancy hormones on skin pigment and moles.

Is Skin Cancer hereditary? Yes, and the closer the relative, the higher the risk. So you and your family should stay sun safe, have regular skin checks and have all skin changes checked immediately. Early detection and treatment of Skin Cancers really does save lives.

You don’t need a sunburn to get Skin Cancer — Skin damage is a cumulative effect, it doesn’t need to present itself as bad sunburns and raw skin, it can be caused by brief moments of sun exposure over years of walking to work, watching TV next to an unfiltered window or sitting in an outdoor cafe.

How to protect babies from the sun — for babies 0-6 months, it is best to use cool and light clothing to protect their skin from the sun, you may also opt for fabrics that have UV protection. It is not advisable that they use sunscreen at this age as their skin is still sensitive and ingredients in a sunscreen may cause reactions. However, babies older than 6 months may use sunscreen, but in only in limited amount; protective clothing and shade would still be the best option.

According to a study, about 2,000 Australians die from Skin Cancer each year, which is why it is highly important that you should provide the best protection for your skin. (https://www.sunsmart.com.au/skin-cancer/skin-cancer-facts-stats)

Applying sunscreen even if you’re just staying home is a must. Commonly, people would think that if they are not at the beach, their skin is not vulnerable to the sun’s UV rays. UV rays can still penetrate glass windows both in your home and car. UVA rays actually penetrate a deeper layer of skin and are therefore more damaging than UVB rays. In fact, UVA rays are the root cause of hyperpigmentation, Skin Cancer, and premature aging. (source: https://www.byrdie.com/should-i-wear-sunscreen-indoors-5093944)

Sun protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and some shade all work very well for protecting the skin from the dangers of the Australian sun, however, some people who spend hours in the direct sun every day might like a little more protection than physical barriers to help combat their risk of Skin Cancer. Vitamin A is the natural addition to this repertoire of defences and has been linked to lowering Skin Cancer in a large study of more than 125,000 people in America.

Even a single sunburn can increase a person’s risk of Skin Cancer. This is because when the skin absorbs ultraviolet radiation from sunlight, it can damage the genetic material in skin cells. In the short term, this damage can cause sunburns. In the long term, it builds up and raises the risk of Skin Cancer. #SunSafe #sundoctors #skincancerclinic #knowyourrisk #skin #cancercouncil #skincancer #checkyourskin #skincheck #skincancerawareness #skincancerprevention #skincancerscreening #sundamage #sundamagedskin #protectyourskin #protectyourskinfromthesun #skindoctor

Can my mole be cancerous? Moles, also known as nevi, are one of the most common growths that people find on their skin. Growing mostly in early adulthood these are some of the growths most commonly mistaken for melanomas. Melanomas are often identified by being asymmetrical, having an irregular border, being unevenly colored and being larger than 6mm. These signs however can also present themselves in atypical moles, which can be completely benign. Therefore, it is always important to check any new atypical mole with your dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis. #SunSafe #sundoctors #skincancerclinic #knowyourrisk #skin #cancercouncil #skincancer #checkyourskin #skincheck #skincancerawareness #skincancerprevention #skincancerscreening #sundamage #sundamagedskin #protectyourskin #protectyourskinfromthesun #skindoctor

With so many components and types of sunscreen available, this article will attempt to explain what ingredients to look for and when to use them. What ingredients to search for may vary depending on the scenarios you'll face during the day, and keeping this in mind, one of the most crucial things to understand when selecting a sunscreen is the distinction between chemical and physical sunscreens.— https://sundoctors.com.au/blog/what-key-ingredients-you-should-look-for-when-buying-sunscreen/ #SunSafe #sundoctors #skincancerclinic #knowyourrisk #skin #cancercouncil #skincancer #checkyourskin #skincheck #skincancerawareness #skincancerprevention #skincancerscreening #sundamage #sundamagedskin #protectyourskin #protectyourskinfromthesun #skindoctor

Here we bust some myths about wearing sunscreen and why we should really take this seriously.

Why should I get a skin check during winter? “Skin Cancers can develop at any time so sun protection measures and skin checks should not be neglected during the cooler months. People need to be aware that skin lesions from sun damage during the summer months won’t show up overnight. In fact, it may take months or years for the damage to develop into Skin Cancer.” - directly sourced from https://sundoctors.com.au/patient-information/why-a-skin-check-during-winter-is-great/ #SunSafe #sundoctors #skincancerclinic #knowyourrisk #skin #cancercouncil #skincancer #checkyourskin #skincheck #skincancerawareness #skincancerprevention #skincancerscreening #sundamage #sundamagedskin #protectyourskin #protectyourskinfromthesun #skindoctor
