The Sun Is Coming Out – Is It Time to Book Your Skin Check?
As the weather warms up and we start spending more time outdoors, it’s the perfect time to think about your skin health!
With more sunshine comes increased UV exposure, making it important to keep an eye on your skin and any changes to your moles. Early detection is key when it comes to skin cancer, and regular skin checks are an important part of looking after your health.
Skin Checks at Hurstbridge Medical Centre
At Hurstbridge Medical Centre (HMC), we offer skin checks to help you stay on top of your skin health. Whether you have noticed a new mole, a change in an existing spot, or simply want peace of mind, our team is here to help.
We also utilise DermEngine, a digital skin imaging and monitoring tool that assists with tracking moles and other skin lesions over time. By capturing and storing images, DermEngine can help support the monitoring of changes between skin checks and assist your doctor in assessing your skin health.
When Should You Book?
You may benefit from a skin check if you have:
-
Fair skin or a history of sunburn.
-
Spent considerable time in the sun throughout your life.
-
Numerous moles or unusual-looking spots.
-
A personal or family history of skin cancer.
-
Noticed a new spot or a change in an existing mole.
However, you don’t need to have any of these risk factors to book an appointment. If something on your skin concerns you, it’s always worth having it checked.
Make Skin Health a Priority This Spring and Summer
Don’t wait until the end of summer to think about your skin. Make a skin check part of your regular healthcare routine, and remember to protect yourself from the sun with SPF 50+ sunscreen, protective clothing, a broad-brimmed hat and shade.
