Did you know if a verruca becomes painful to walk on, it can change the way you walk? Over time, this change can cause discomfort all the way up to your back!
Verruca - also known as plantar warts - have an annual incidence of ~14% (Akram & Zaman, 2015), meaning they're fairly common in the general population.

It's always best to get a verrucae checked out if you're worried about it, particularly if its painful, keeps coming back or is bleeding or is changing.

Melanoma skin cancer is the 5th most common cancer in the UK and accounts for 5% of all new cancer cases (Cancer Research UK).

The main risk factors causing melanoma skin cancer are:
- age (1/3 of causes are diagnosed in people over 75)
- UV light exposure from the sun, sunbeds; getting sunburn and not wearing sun cream🌞
- number of freckles, moles or birthmarks;
- genetic factors and family history.

86% of skin cancer cases are preventable, but since the 1990s, cases have increased by 164%. It has a survival rate of over 92%, by why take that risk? With summer coming up, make sure you stay in the shade when possible and pop on some good-quality sun cream🏖

If you have a mole or lesion that you think is suspicious or changing, get it checked! Medical professionals with dermoscopy training should be able to identify something that may need further investigation - whether its your GP (for the whole body) or registered podiatrist (for the lower limb).

Both Donyah and Wendy are trained to use a dermatoscope, so if you have any lower-limb moles you're worried about, they can check it at your appointment.
