🌞 Skin Cancer Awareness Week | November 2025

Your skin is your body’s largest organ and it deserves your attention and care every day. 💛

This Skin Cancer Awareness Week, we’re encouraging everyone to take a closer look at their skin health. Skin cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, but when detected early, it’s also one of the most treatable.

🩺 Here’s what you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones:

🌤 1. Practice Sun Safety Every Day
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every morning, even on cloudy or cool days.
Reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
Seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun’s rays are strongest.
Wear protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and UV-blocking sunglasses.

👀 2. Know Your Skin
Perform monthly self-skin checks in good lighting, and look for new, changing, or unusual moles or spots.
Remember the ABCDE rule of melanoma detection:
Asymmetry | Border irregularity | Color variation | Diameter >6mm | Evolving appearance

💬 3. See a Dermatologist
Schedule an annual professional skin exam or sooner if you notice anything suspicious.
Early detection is the key: when caught early, skin cancer has a 99% survival rate.

🌿 4. Spread Awareness
Share this message with friends and family.
Encourage others to make sun safety and skin checks part of their routine.

Let’s work together to protect the skin we’re in, because healthy skin is beautiful skin. 💛

🌿 November is National Healthy Skin Month! 🌿

Your skin does so much more than you might realize. It’s your body’s largest organ and your first line of defence against the outside world. Healthy skin doesn’t just enhance your appearance; it also plays a crucial role in protecting your overall health.

Why Skin Health Matters:
✨ Acts as a protective barrier against environmental stressors, germs, and UV rays.
✨ Helps regulate body temperature and moisture balance.
✨ Reflects your internal health and wellness.

At Inside Out Dermatology, we believe that glowing skin starts with healthy habits. This November, we’re celebrating National Healthy Skin Month by empowering our patients to care for their skin with intention and knowledge.

📅 Schedule your annual skin exam or a skincare consultation with us today. Together, we’ll create a plan to keep your skin healthy, radiant, and protected all year long.

🧴 Basal Cell Carcinoma: Know the Signs, Protect Your Skin 🧴

Basal Cell Carcinomas (BCCs) are the most common form of skin cancer—and while they’re usually slow-growing, early detection is key to preventing long-term damage.

🔍 Common warning signs of BCCs include:
• A shiny, pearly bump with rolled edges
• A non-healing sore that bleeds, crusts, or scabs
• A spot that seems to come and go, but never fully resolves
• Areas that look like a flat scar or white patch

As Dermatologists, we also rely on dermoscopy—a detailed examination using a special skin microscope—to identify subtle but critical features such as:
• Arborising vessels (branching blood vessels)
• Shiny white structures
• Blue-grey ovoid nests
• Ulceration or leaf-like areas

👩‍⚕️ Worried about a spot? At Inside Out Dermatology, we offer Nurse-led Spot Check Appointments with our experienced Registered Nurse Melanographer. With specialised training in dermoscopy, they can:
✔️ Determine if a lesion needs an on-the-spot biopsy with the Dermatologist
✔️ Or capture dermoscopic images to be reviewed by the Dermatologist

Early detection saves skin—and lives. Don’t ignore that suspicious spot.

In recent years, there has been a significant surge in the popularity of hair and skin supplements. These products, often packed with vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts, promise to enhance the health and appearance of our skin and hair from within. The appeal of these supplements lies in their convenience and the potential for holistic improvement, addressing issues such as hair thinning, dull skin, and signs of aging without the need for topical treatments or invasive procedures.

The effectiveness of hair and skin supplements can vary widely based on several factors, including individual biology, the specific ingredients used, and the consistency of use. Common ingredients found in these supplements include biotin, collagen, vitamins A, C, D, and E, as well as omega fatty acids.
Research has suggested that biotin may support hair health and growth, while collagen has been shown to improve skin elasticity and hydration. However, it is essential to note that while these ingredients can contribute to overall skin and hair health, they are not a cure-all and should be part of a broader skincare and wellness routine.

Furthermore, it’s worth highlighting that lifestyle factors such as diet, stress levels, and hydration also play a critical role in the health of your skin and hair. Balancing these elements along with the use of supplements can lead to more pronounced results. It’s also crucial to manage expectations, as improvements may take time and vary from person to person.

Before incorporating supplements into your regimen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional, particularly if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications. A personalised approach can help identify the most suitable supplements tailored to your specific needs and goals.

If you’re curious about how hair and skin supplements could fit into your beauty routine, our dermatology experts are here to help! Schedule a consultation today to discuss your options and discover the best solutions for your unique skin and hair care needs. 🌟

Fragrance can elevate your skincare experience with its soothing or invigorating scent, but have you ever wondered if it’s doing more harm than good for your skin? Let’s take a closer look at why fragrance in skincare is such a controversial topic.

While fragrance can make your skincare products smell delightful, it’s important to remember that your skin might not always agree. If you’re prone to irritation, redness, or breakouts, it might be worth trying fragrance-free options to see how your skin responds. Your skin deserves the best care, without the added irritation of unnecessary fragrances.

✨ Derm Tip: If you’re unsure whether a product is irritating your skin, do a patch test on a small area first. That way, you’ll know how your skin reacts before using it on your whole face.

At Inside Out Dermatology, we believe that everyone deserves to feel confident in their own skin, no matter what challenges they may face. Alopecia is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, yet it often remains misunderstood. This month, we want to shine a spotlight on alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss due to an autoimmune response that targets the hair follicles.

Why Awareness Matters
Alopecia goes beyond the visible loss of hair, it impacts emotional well-being, self-esteem, and how individuals perceive themselves. This month, we aim to raise awareness about the emotional and psychological aspects of alopecia, encouraging people to seek treatment, find support, and, most importantly, embrace their beauty, hair or not.

Our Approach to Alopecia Treatment
At Inside Out Dermatology, we understand that alopecia is a deeply personal experience. That’s why we offer a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment, including:
✨ Personalised consultations to understand your unique situation
✨ Advanced diagnostic tools to determine the type of alopecia and potential triggers
✨ Treatment options that may include topical treatments, corticosteroids, or light therapy (phototherapy) to stimulate hair regrowth
✨ Support for managing stress and emotional well-being, which is essential for those living with alopecia

Living with alopecia can feel isolating, but know that you are not alone. Whether you’ve just started experiencing hair loss or have been living with it for years, there are support systems in place to help you navigate your journey. Support groups, counselling, and connections with others in the alopecia community can make a significant difference.

At our clinic, we’re committed to helping patients regain not only their hair but also their confidence. If you or someone you know is experiencing hair loss, we’re here to offer guidance and treatment options tailored to your needs.

Don’t let alopecia define you, together, we can raise awareness, spread kindness, and support those who need it most. 💙
