May is Melanoma Awareness Month!
Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer, developing in the pigment-producing cells of the skin. While it can be less common than other skin cancers, it has the potential to spread to other parts of the body if not detected early.
In Australia, where skin cancer rates are among the highest in the world, awareness and regular skin checks are especially important. Early detection can make a significant difference to outcomes.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing important information about melanoma, including risk factors, warning signs and prevention tips to help you stay informed and proactive about your skin health.
