A recent report from Cancer Research UK reveals that since 1973, death rates from melanoma (the most serious type of skin cancer) have risen by 219% in men, compared to an increase of 76% in women and that men are 69% more likely to die from the disease than women!Despite these compelling statistics, men are less likely to cover up with clothing and wear sunscreen, check their skin for signs of change or visit their GP with any concerns.Knowledge is power, share it with the men you care about.@SkcinCharity - every month is #skincancerawarenessmonth
