Information and resources about keeping your skin healthy, preventing skin cancer and detecting skin cancer as early as possible.
Reduce your risk
The best-known and most effective way of reducing your risk of skin cancer is to minimise unnecessary exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Enable early diagnosis
The main way a skin cancer check reduces the risk of serious skin cancers is by finding and enabling treatment of early skin cancers. But many skin cancers are detected by the patient or their family member/friend. You get maximum protection by having a skin cancer check performed professionally, and checking your own skin.
