Summer is almost here!
Stay sun smart this Summer, the most important things to remember this summer are:
SLIP (on clothes),
SLOP( on sunscreen),
SLAP (on a hat),
SLIDE (on sunglasses) and
SEEK SHADE
If you have a spot or a mole that is changing, or one that you are not sure about, the best thing to do is to get it checked.
Visit one of our clinics for comprehensive diagnosis and management of skin lesions. Too much sun, especially when it causes sunburn, damages your skin and can lead to Melanoma.
Melanoma if left undetected can kill.
