This November is National Skin Cancer Action Week, and serves as a month long reminder to make skin health a priority.
There are simple steps you can take to look after your skin:
• Practise sun protection when the UV Index is 3 or above.
• Check your skin regularly for new or changing spots.
• Understand your personal and family history of skin cancer.
• Speak with your doctor about your skin cancer risk and whether a professional skin check is appropriate.
Skin cancer can develop on areas of the body that receive little or no direct sunlight, so remember to check your whole body.
