A Brief Overview of Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer and can be caused by a wide range of factors. While every person should be aware of their skin cancer risk and changes to their spots, some individuals are more at risk than others. We especially recommend having a skin check if:

• You have a history of sunburn, particularly with peeling or blistering. UV exposure, both chronic and acute, is proven to cause some skin cancers.
• You have multiple moles
• Either you or a close family member have had a skin cancer in the past
• You have any concerns about new or changing spots or moles, or someone else has expressed concern about your spots.
• You have worked outdoors, used solariums, or been exposed to certain chemicals in your working life.

If left untreated, skin cancer can be fatal, or have significant negative health impacts. Thankfully, early detection and treatment can significantly limit this risk. If you are experiencing symptoms such as new, changing, itching or bleeding spots, or think you may be at risk, please contact us for a review.
