There are different skin cancers with varying symptoms. Over-exposure to the sun or repeated sunburn are common causes of skin cancer. Sun protection is really important, even on overcast days. Investing in a good quality product with a Sun Protection Factor is a good first step in protecting your skin and reducing the risk of over-exposure to the sun.
Signs to look out for:
1. A change to an existing mole, freckle or normal patch of skin.
2. A sore that doesn’t heal.
3. A patch of skin that is painful, itchy, bleeds or scabs for more that 4 weeks.
Speak to your GP if you have any of these symptoms or are worried about any abnormal areas of skin.
