Squamous cell cancers can be impressively speedy growers. The faster growing ones are often tender. If you have a fast growing and TENDER scaly spot, there is a fair chance it’s a squamous cell cancer. Get it checked out by an accredited skin cancer Dr!

A reminder why we have to check under hair. Skin cancers can hide anywhere. This is why we check your scalp, between your fingers and toes and beneath your un**es.

We really think with all your healthcare you should take it back to first principles and think about why you make any decision? Ultimately we do it not for a good DEXA score or a good cholesterol number but we do it so we can live long healthy happy lives!

Can we all get medicare funding for DEXA scans? Unfortunately only a small slice of Australians get a tax payer funded DEXA scan but we think it is very reasonable to talk to your doctor about your bone health at ANY age and decide on best course of action from there!!

More chat about bone density and who needs a scan. What do we call that scan?

We need your help because we’re sure we’ve left out some names.

Hit us in the comments with all the names we’ve forgotten and don't forget to tag a gym ju**ie so we can work out all the names we've missed!!
