February is National Cancer Prevention Month. Skin cancer is one of the most treatable cancers, so let’s raise awareness. Give this a read and share with all the men in your lives 🖤

In the UK, 1 in 4 men will face skin cancer in their lifetime, highlighting the importance of regular self-exams, even in colder months. Some areas, like your back, can be tricky to check, so don’t hesitate to ask someone for help. Early detection of unusual moles can lead to better treatment outcomes. Pay attention to changes in size, shape, colour, or texture, especially on your scalp, back, and feet, and consult a healthcare professional if something seems off.

Remember, skin protection from UV rays is essential year-round. Use high SPF sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and seek shade to keep your skin healthy. Taking these precautions now can significantly benefit your skin later on.
.. and if you are struggling to do those regular checks, we can do that for you at The Lighthouse Clinic.

Call 01983 552890 for a full skin check. Lines open from 9am Monday.

On , let's have a serious look at some of the misunderstandings that come up around melanoma skin cancer. We often hear stories from patients who feel their diagnosis was brushed off as "just skin cancer," as if it’s a minor issue that can simply be cut out and forgotten.

But the reality is much different for many people. While melanoma might not always show up like other cancers, it certainly doesn’t mean it’s any less serious. The physical and emotional impact can be profound. We need to shift this narrative because melanoma is the UK’s fastest-growing cancer, with about 17,500 new cases each year. And let’s not forget, more than 2,300 people lose their lives to malignant melanoma in the UK every year.

So let’s be clear: melanoma is NOT "just" skin cancer. 🖤

The Lighthouse Clinic takes melanoma very seriously and so should you. Check your skin every month. If you notice any new or changing moles or lesions, please schedule an appointment with your GP, who can access The Lighthouse Clinic’s Teledermatology Service.

Let’s increase awareness about the seriousness of skin cancer. Share this post to help spread the message.
