2/3 Australians will develop a skin cancer throughout their lifetimes- so let’s learn a bit more about the three main types, and how to prevent them.
Basal cell carcinomas are by far the most common skin cancers; sometimes affecting people as young as in their early twenties.
BCC’s can generally be easily removed when detected early; but clusters can form quickly if left undetected.
Prevention is key- stay sun safe, and if in doubt, get a skin check!
Stay tuned for our other skin cancers in the spotlight coming throughout this week.

Hold your forearm to your abdomen- is there a major difference in colour?
Ideally, the skin on the back of your hand should look like that of your stomach.
Tanning is simply visible cell damage, and it significantly increases your risk of developing skin cancer.
We know the risks- and it’s not worth it. There’s no such thing as a healthy tan.

Research from @cancercouncil shows that 1 in 3 young Australians still think suntanning is "fine" for people their ages.
But we know the cost of a tan now- and it`s not worth it.
There is no such thing as a healthy tan.
Remember to Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide to safely enjoy the sun!

The “bronzed Aussie” image is part of the Australian psyche. From sports icons to movie stars, that golden glow has always been sought after- and the fiercest tan has been seen as the ultimate prize.
But now, we know that tan comes with a cost.
There’s no such thing as a healthy tan.
