SAVE YOUR SKIN

Skin check: early detection SAVES LIVES ON average, 2 in 3 Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by age 70, which is why regular skin checks are important. Most skin cancers that are diagnosed and treated early can be cured. Get to know your own skin well. Learn what is normal for you and be alert to any new or changing moles, freckles and spots. If you notice anything new or different, it’s important to seek medical advice as soon as possible.

Skin cancers don’t all look the same, but there are signs to look out for, including: • a spot that is different from other spots on the skin • a spot that has changed size, shape, colour or texture • a sore that doesn’t heal • a sore that is itchy or bleeds.

CHECK YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES WITH THREE SIMPLE STEPS. Find a room with good light and a full-length mirror.

Undress and check all of the skin, not just sun-exposed areas.

This includes underarms, scalp, groin and the soles of feet.

Ask a friend or family member to check the skin you cannot see, like on your scalp and back. You can also use a hand-held mirror.

Dr John Di Palma Medical and Skin Cancer Surgery.

Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer and the 4th most common cancer diagnosed in Australia.

If recognised and treated early, it is almost always curable, but if it is not, the cancer can advance and spread to other parts of the body and can be fatal. Early detection is vital, which is why you should have regular skin checks with your GP every 6-12 months.

Dr Di Palma has been treating patients for skin cancer conditions for over 30 years and

has a keen interest in all skin-related conditions. Our accredited surgery is fully equipped to provide high quality patient care and advice on all skin cancer treatments including biopsies, excisions, cryotherapy and after-care.

The surgery also offers General Practice appointments and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy.

To make an appointment call 40611556.

Surgery hours are Monday to Fiday 8.30am – 5pm.

AM I AT RISK?

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Anyone can develop skin cancer.

However, you are at higher risk if you: have a fair skin type that is easily sunburnt; have spent lots of time outdoors over your lifetime; sunbake, use solariums or sunlamps; and/or have lots of moles; have a history of bad sunburns; have previously been diagnosed or have a family history of skin cancer; have red hair and light coloured eyes (blue or green).

If you meet any of the above criteria, speak to your doctor about developing a surveillance plan to keep on top of any changes to your skin.

Check your skin regularly and see your doctor if you notice a new spot or a spot that has changed in size, colour or shape.

Melanoma

Nodular melanoma

May have irregular edges, one half bigger than the other, or an uneven colour.

Can appear on skin not normally exposed to the sun.

Grows very quickly so don’t delay seeing your doctor.

Raised and even-coloured ranging from pink or red, to brown or black.

Firm, dome-shaped, may bleed and crust.

Basal cell carcinoma

Squamous cell carcinoma

Red, pale, or pearly colour that can be a lump or dry, scaly patch.

Can ulcerate, bleed and fail to heal.

Thickened, red scaly spot that bleeds easily, crusts or ulcerates.

More common in people over 50 years old.

Face and scalp Neck and shoulders Front and back of your arm, including armpit

Front and back of hands, between your fingers and under the fingernails Legs Between toes and on soles of feet

FACT: Skin cancer is more likely to develop with age.

Melanoma, including nodular melanoma, is the least common, but most dangerous form of skin cancer so it must be treated quickly.
