The hot Australian sun and weather conditions can have long term effects on our bodies. It is important to ensure that you are aware of these changes and keep up to date with your health.
A skin check can be completed in a 20-minute consultation with your doctor and can help be a preventative measure towards skin cancer. The catch cry of “Slip, Slop, Slap on a hat” is not just a slogan to be ignored.
If you are spending any time in the sun it is important to take measures to prevent damage to your skin from the sun. This includes wearing sunscreen with an appropriate UV rating, long sleeved shirts and pants as well as a hat. However, making time to see your doctor at least once a year for an examination is just as important.
