The team at the Vein and Skin Clinic hopes you had a wonderful summer break with your family and that you remembered to protect your loved ones from harmful UV rays!
Did you know that cumulative sun exposure and childhood sunburn can increase the risk of melanoma later in life? It is essential that you protect yourself and your children from the sun with protective measures, including:
☀️ Long sleeve clothing.
☀️ SPF 50+ sunscreen (remember 20 minutes before you go in the sun, and 2 hourly when you are out in it).
☀️ Broad brimmed had that protect the ears, and the back of the neck.
☀️ Seek shade when you can and try to plan outdoor activities before 10 am and after 4 pm in the summer months.
If you haven't had your annual skin check, you can book in with our skin cancer team today! https://bit.ly/4qi77TD
