Skin feels fine? No pain, no itch, no bleeding?

That doesn’t mean you're in the clear.

Skin cancer often shows up silently, growing without a hint of discomfort.

Here’s why waiting for symptoms is the most dangerous mistake.

Waist expanding for no clear reason?

It’s not your imagination, and it’s not just about diet or exercise.

Here’s what’s really happening during perimenopause and menopause.

Most people don’t realise there are four different types of rosacea, and each one needs a different treatment plan to actually improve your skin.

Type 1: Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea
This is the classic redness type. It causes persistent flushing across the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. You may also notice tiny visible blood vessels under the skin. It often looks like constant blushing that never settles.

Type 2: Papulopustular rosacea
Commonly mistaken for acne, this type shows up as red bumps and pus-filled spots around the central face. There are no blackheads, which is one of the key differences from teenage acne. It is often called adult acne, but it is actually rosacea.

Type 3: Phymatous rosacea
A rarer but more severe form. The skin becomes thickened and bumpy over time, especially around the nose, sometimes creating a bulbous appearance. This happens when the oil glands enlarge and the skin slowly builds up.

Type 4: Ocular rosacea
This affects the eyes rather than the skin. It can cause redness, irritation, watery or gritty eyes, swollen eyelids, and recurring styes. Many people do not realise their eye symptoms are linked to rosacea.

In Australia, some rosacea laser treatments attract a Medicare rebate, and certain medications may be subsidised under the PBS, making treatment more affordable. Seeing a GP who also treats rosacea means you get assessment, treatment and Medicare guidance all in one place.

If you have ongoing redness or symptoms that match any of these types, book an appointment to get the right diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan.

Under eyes ageing faster than the rest of your face?

There’s a scientific reason.

This skin is thinner, drier, and far easier to damage.

Here’s what most people are doing wrong.

Most women don’t realise perimenopause can start in their mid-30s, and the symptoms are often mistaken for everyday stress. Here are six signs your hormones are shifting, even before any blood tests.

1. Constant fatigue
That stubborn exhaustion that does not go away even with rest is often one of the earliest signs. As your hormone levels begin to dip, your body has to work harder to maintain balance, which affects your energy and stamina throughout the day.

2. Brain fog
Walking into a room and forgetting why, losing your train of thought, or struggling to find words you used to recall easily can all be linked to falling oestrogen levels.

3. Hot flushes and night sweats
Sudden waves of heat, flushing, or waking up drenched at night happen because the hypothalamus becomes more sensitive as oestrogen declines. Even slight hormonal shifts confuse your internal temperature regulation.

4. Period changes
Your cycles may become longer or shorter, bleeding may become heavier or lighter, or you may occasionally skip periods. These irregular patterns happen because your ovaries are producing hormones less consistently, and this is often one of the first noticeable signs of perimenopause.

5. Insomnia or disrupted sleep
Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep can be tied to dropping progesterone levels. Progesterone supports relaxation and deeper sleep cycles, so when it declines, many women experience restless nights despite feeling exhausted.

6. Mood changes
Irritability, sadness, anxiety, or emotions that feel out of proportion to the situation can occur because fluctuating hormones directly affect the brain chemicals responsible for mood regulation. It can feel like your emotions are shifting without a clear reason.

Recognising these symptoms early is empowering and helps you understand what your body is signalling. Speaking to a GP who specialises in women’s health can help you access safe, evidence-based treatment options that suit your medical history and personal needs.

If these symptoms sound familiar and you would like to find tailored treatments for your individual circumstance, book a consultation through the link in the bio.

You’d be shocked where I find skin cancers.

Covered skin. Between toes. Under nails.

This isn’t about being sun-smart. It’s about being thorough.

It’s not just about size or shape, there’s a whole hidden layer under the surface we’re trained to read.

This tool? It’s a game changer.

This one thing affects 70 percent of women in Australia, and most have no idea it is happening.

Vaginal atrophy is one of the most common but least talked about symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. It happens when falling oestrogen levels cause the vaginal tissues to become thinner, drier and more sensitive.

Here are the four key signs to look out for:

1. Painful cervical smear tests because the tissues are more fragile and sensitive.

2. Painful in*******se due to reduced elasticity and natural lubrication.

3. Repeated urinary tract infections or constant urgency because the same hormonal changes affect the urinary tract.

4. Itching, burning or soreness that can feel like paper cuts or make sitting and cycling uncomfortable.

Local oestrogen, in the form of oestrogen creams or pessaries, are the most effective treatment because it restores the vaginal tissues instead of masking the symptoms. It is safe for most women, yet only around 20 percent use it despite 70 to 80 percent benefiting from it.
These symptoms are highly common, but they are treatable, and you deserve to feel comfortable in your own body.

If any of this sounds familiar, book a consultation through the link in the bio to get personalised advice and the right treatment for you.
