This Halloween, we’re taking a look at the nitty gritty of skin cancer. When it comes to skin cancer, there may be more lurking beneath the surface. Skin cancer progresses through five stages, being most treatable during its early development. Understanding these stages as well as changes to the skin is essential for effective self-monitoring, enabling the prompt detection and management of potential skin cancers. Our Full Body MoleMap establishes a baseline skin record, simplifying the tracking of even the most subtle changes over time. Supported by our Melanographrs, aided by Kāhu AI technology and tele-Dermatologists, this system aids in the earlier and more accurate detection of skin cancers, offering our patients the best possible defence against skin cancers like melanoma. Not to mention, with treatment in selection clinics, we’re able to offer our patients the best in holistic care. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gjc_UtXm

🔎 Have you checked all of your skin? Between your fingers and toes? On your back? The soles of your feet? Skin cancer can develop anywhere on the body; in places we cannot see and would not expect. Melanoma is a type of cancer that develops in skin cells (melanocytes) that produce melanin. It is one of the easiest cancers to detect because it usually appears on visible areas of your body such as the face or neck. Melanoma can occur in all populations whatever their skin color. Among individuals diagnosed with melanoma, darker-skinned populations are less likely to develop melanoma, but more likely to die from this curable disease partly due to late diagnosis. It is more probable to be cured when found early! This May as we join the Melanoma Awareness Month, we encourage both self-evaluation and examination by others to check all your skin for signs of melanoma. Let’s raise awareness about the importance of regular self-examinations and professional screenings. Join us in spreading awareness on skin cancer prevention and early detection. Together, let's ensure that no spot goes unchecked! 🤝 For more information, visit our page : https://bit.ly/3VTDGM7 #WeHaveYourBack #PierreFabre #Melanoma #Prevention #SkinCancer #MelanomaAwarenessMonth 

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month ☀ ! Early detection is critical, and with over 16,000 cases of melanoma reported annually, it's essential to be aware of the warning signs. After dealing with it myself this year, I cannot stress enough the importance of noticing when something is wrong and having the confidence to get it checked. Macmillan has created an awareness campaign for the month of May with resources to help you understand the warning signs you need to be aware of. Please take a moment to read and familiarize yourself with the campaign: https://lnkd.in/eUH4sVZN #SkinCancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #MacmillanCampaign

May marks both Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month in Canada. ☀️ Summertime is fast approaching, so now is a perfect time to learn about skin cancer and what to watch for. Make sure to save this post so you have a reference! Or head to https://bit.ly/4a3w9hf for more information. Skin cancer can occur anywhere on the body, which means performing regular skin checks on ourselves, regardless of our skin tone, is crucial. 🔎 What are you checking for? Remember the ABCDE’s: ☀️ Asymmetry: The shape on one side is different from that on the other ☀️ Border: The visible edge is irregular and ragged ☀️ Colour: There is colour variation with brown, black, red, grey or white within it ☀️ Diameter: Growth is typical of melanoma — it can measure more than 6mm ☀️ Evolution: Look for change in colour, size, shape or symptoms Checking your skin once a month will help with early detection. If you find anything suspicious, talk to your doctor. #SkinCancerAwareness #SkinCancerAwarenessMonth #EarlyDetectionSavesLives #ProtectYourSkin #StaySunSafe

Skin cancer: Skin cancer — the abnormal growth of skin cells — most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. But this common form of cancer can also occur on areas of your skin not ordinarily exposed to sunlight. There are three major types of skin cancer — basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. You can reduce your risk of skin cancer by limiting or avoiding exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Checking your skin for suspicious changes can help detect skin cancer at its earliest stages. Early detection of skin cancer gives you the greatest chance for successful skin cancer treatment. Skin cancer develops primarily on areas of sun-exposed skin, including the scalp, face, lips, ears, neck, chest, arms and hands, and on the legs in women. But it can also form on areas that rarely see the light of day — your palms, beneath your fingernails or toenails, and your genital area. Skin cancer affects people of all skin tones, including those with darker complexions. When melanoma occurs in people with dark skin tones, it's more likely to occur in areas not normally exposed to the sun, such as the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

Each month, healthcare organizations around the country recognize a particular health condition or provide educational materials about a certain topic. May is Skin Cancer Prevention and Awareness Month! "Skin cancer other than melanoma is a very common cancer in the United States. More than 5 million people receive such a diagnosis each year. Melanoma, however, is an aggressive form of skin cancer. It is more likely to invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body than the more common forms of skin cancer." - AACR Let's spread the word on the importance of protecting our skin. Remember to wear sunscreen, seek shade, and get regular skin checks. ☀️🛡️ Together, we can reduce the risk and stay skin cancer aware. #SkinCancerAwareness #SunSafety #PreventSkinCancer

It’s Skin Cancer Awareness Month. There are three main types of skin cancer: •Basal cell carcinoma (BCCs) •Squamous cell carcinoma (SCCs) •Melanoma Most skin cancers are caused by skin damage that happens from exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun. All types of skin are at risk of sun damage and skin cancer. Those who are most at risk of developing skin cancer are fair-skinned people who tend to burn easily, or freckle in the sun. People with darker skin still have a risk of developing skin cancer. It is important for everyone to follow skin protection advice and to check their skin regularly. If you have any concerns, book to see our specialist consultant.

#WeHaveYourBack! #MelanomaAwarenessMonth Malignant melanoma is a type of skin cancer that starts and develops in cells known as melanocytes – these cells are found in the upper layer of the skin and produce a pigment called melanin, giving skin its color. Melanoma, although less common than other skin cancers, is more dangerous because it grows and spreads quickly to other parts of the body if undetected and not treated early. Paying attention to your skin is important for detecting melanoma early, when it is most likely to be cured. Any delay in melanoma diagnosis increases the risk of cancer progressing, potentially from curable to incurable. Anyone can suffer from melanoma, but it is more commonly reported among light-skinned populations, partly attributable to decreased photoprotection from reduced melanin. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of melanoma is important for early detection, diagnosis and improved treatment outcomes. Skin cancer can develop anywhere on the body; in places we cannot see and would not expect. Whilst sun-exposed skin is most at risk, unusual changes to skin can also develop in areas that are usually protected from the sun (soles of feet, between fingers and toes, back and inner surfaces of the mouth). - Be aware of skin changes  - Be aware they may be in places you can’t see - Be aware they may be in areas that don’t get sun #WeHaveYourBack #PierreFabrePharmaNorden

Evidence shows the risk of developing melanoma, which accounts for the majority of skin cancer deaths, is reduced by consistent and optimal use of sunscreen.  As May is Skin Cancer Awareness month, we want to highlight the importance of regular #sunscreen use in helping to prevent melanoma.  In order to prevent skin cancer, it is essential to offer high-quality products that people will accept and use regularly. Through the development of high-quality sunscreen formulas, the beauty and personal care industry supports better skin cancer prevention, helping people protect their skin and reducing the healthcare burden on countries. #ValueOfBeauty #SkinCancerAwareness
