Amongst the various risk factors for melanoma, exposure to UV radiation is the main one. ☀️

Sources of UV rays are sunlight and artificial light used in tanning beds and sunlamps. There is robust scientific evidence demonstrating that melanoma more frequently starts in areas of the body that are subject to frequent sunburns or are chronically exposed to UV radiation.

It's proven that skin sunburns in childhood become a risk factor for melanoma that develops in adulthood.

It's important to ‘know your own skin’ in order to recognise new and changed moles or spots. 🔎

For an early diagnosis, book an appointment for a skin cancer screening with our Specialist Dermatologists at Integra, Dr Davide Altamura and Dr Alison Duncan, here:
