Take precautions for prevention

Prevention is key to reducing the risk of skin cancer and other skin conditions. Incorporating sun protection into your daily routine and scheduling regular skin checks are essential steps in maintaining healthy skin. Early action is the best defence against long-term skin damage.
Get regular checks for early detection

Early detection plays a crucial role in managing skin cancer and other skin conditions. By scheduling routine checks with a qualified skin care professional, you can catch any abnormalities early, improving the chances of effective treatment. Regular self-checks at home also aid in spotting unusual changes between professional visits.
Get an accurate diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis is critical in determining the appropriate course of action for skin conditions, including skin cancer. After a thorough skin check, a healthcare professional may recommend further tests, such as a biopsy, to confirm whether a mole or lesion is cancerous. Prompt and accurate diagnosis ensures that you receive the correct treatment as soon as possible, improving overall outcomes.
Regularly follow-up after treatment

Treatment for skin cancer varies depending on the stage and type of the condition. Early treatment improves the chances of a full recovery and can prevent the spread of cancer to other parts of the body. Regular follow-ups after treatment are essential for monitoring your skin and ensuring long-term health.

Prevention is Best

Regular skin checks are an essential part of maintaining skin health, particularly in Australia, where high levels of UV radiation increase the risk of skin cancer. Even if you don’t notice any immediate changes or concerns, it’s important to book a routine skin check as a precaution.

Sun protection is equally vital, and daily use of sunscreen, wearing sun-protective clothing and avoiding peak sun exposure can significantly reduce your risk of developing skin issues.

It’s also crucial to pay attention to changes in your moles or other skin spots. If you notice that a mole has grown larger, changed in colour or developed an irregular shape, it’s time to schedule a mole check. Early detection is key to successful treatment and long-term skin health.

By incorporating both sun protection and regular skin checks into your routine, you can reduce your risk of skin cancer and ensure you stay proactive about your skin’s well-being.

How can I tell if a spot on my skin is cancerous?

It can be difficult to tell if a spot is cancerous just by looking at it. However, common signs of a suspicious spot include asymmetry, irregular borders, multiple colours or a size larger than 6 millimetres. If a spot grows, changes in appearance, or becomes painful, it’s important to have it checked by a professional. Regular skin checks by a healthcare provider are the best way to detect skin cancer early.
What happens if skin cancer is detected during a skin check?

If skin cancer is suspected during a skin check, the healthcare provider may recommend a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. This involves removing a small tissue sample from the suspicious area for analysis. If the biopsy confirms skin cancer, your doctor will discuss treatment options with you, which may include surgical removal or other forms of treatment depending on the type and stage of the cancer.
How effective is sunscreen in preventing skin cancer?

Sunscreen is highly effective in reducing the risk of skin cancer when used correctly. It helps block harmful UV rays that can damage skin cells and lead to cancer. For the best protection, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and reapply it every two hours, especially if you are swimming or sweating. However, sunscreen should be used in combination with other protective measures like wearing a hat and seeking shade.
