Worth a watch if you’re under stress x

Do we think it will ever happen? 🤔

‼ A new article published in the BMJ highlights the growing appetite from skin cancer experts for an outright ban on commercial sunbed use in the UK.

Skcin have long warned the public about the dangers of sunbed use which increases the risk of melanoma and other forms of skin cancer — especially among young people. Yet we know all too well that current regulation is failing to curb usage and reduce harm.

🔑 Key points from the article:
• Sunbed use is surging, particularly among Gen Z, with social media promoting tanning as part of wellness culture.
• Even though under-18s are banned from using sunbeds in England & Wales, many still do with a third of 16-17 year olds reporting usage.
• Unsubstantiated industry claims & aggressive marketing is used to influence a vulnerable population.
• A higher density of sunbed outlets in north England and deprived areas correlates with higher melanoma rates in young people in those regions.
• Regulation alone has proven insufficient in other countries too.

✅ What the authors recommend:
1. A nationwide ban on commercial sunbeds.
2. A buy-back scheme as implemented in Australia could help reduce economic harm to operators and ease the transition.
3. Strong public education on UV / sun safety should accompany the ban, though it may take a generation to shift behaviours.

The UK government has pledged to prioritise prevention and to reduce health inequalities as part of their 10-Year Cancer Plan. During the consultation, Skcin submitted recommendations urging a comprehensive review of existing sunbed legislation—with a ban considered as a potential route forward. We hope the united and consistent actions of experts and charities continue to raise this important topic up the political ladder.

👉 What do you think: Should the UK ban sunbeds?

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ Breast cancer ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

can appear as a new lump or thickening in the breast or armpit, changes in skin texture (like dimpling or redness), a change in breast size or shape, ni**le changes (such as inversion or discharge), or an ulcer or rash on the breast.

While most breast lumps are not cancerous, any new or unusual changes to your breast should be checked by a doctor, as early detection is crucial for successful treatment.

Visible and Physical Changes
Lump or Thickening: The most common symptom is a new lump or area of thickening in the breast or under the arm. A suspicious lump may feel hard and have irregular edges.

Skin Changes: Look for dimpling, puckering, or redness of the skin on the breast, which may resemble the texture of an orange peel (peau d'orange). In people with darker skin, the skin may look darker, red, or purple.

Ni**le Changes: This includes a ni**le that turns inward (inverted ni**le), a rash on or around the ni**le, or skin that is peeling, scaling, or crusting.
Changes in Size or Shape: A noticeable change in the size, shape, or appearance of one or both breasts should be reported to a doctor.

Discharge
Ni**le Discharge: Leaking fluid from the ni**le (if you are not pregnant or breastfeeding) can be a symptom, especially if the discharge contains blood.

When to See a Doctor
Seek medical advice promptly: If you notice any new or unusual lump, skin change, or other symptom, make an appointment to see a doctor or healthcare professional.
Don't wait for a mammogram: It is important to report any changes you find to your doctor right away, even if you recently had a mammogram.

Important Considerations
Not all changes are cancerous: Most changes, including lumps, are not cancer, but it is essential to have them checked to determine the cause.
Inflammatory Breast Cancer: This less common type may not form a lump but can cause rapid changes such as swelling, redness, warmth, and a heavy feeling in the breast.

…so what does the menopause have to do with your skin?

🩷 Oestrogen plays a vital role in maintaining youthful, healthy skin. As the levels drop you
may notice:

• Loss of collagen and elastin, causing sagging and fine lines
• Dryness and dehydration, due to reduced oil production
• Thinner, more fragile skin, with slower healing
• Increased sensitivity or dullness

How can you support your skin’s health and resilience during this time?

Threads are a no from me!

They don’t last and there’s a high level of complications - see this poor lady with holes in her face 😢

There are much more effective treatments out there. Say no to the threads!

Unregulated thread lifts cause severe complications, leaving many women in A&E. Safety concerns rise as complaints triple, highlighting urgent issues.
