Even in the winter months UVA rays are very much present and we should take care to protect our skin from cumulative damage. If you’re spending extended periods of time outdoors, apply sunscreen with UVA protection before you head out.1 in 5 of us will develop some form of skin cancer in our lifetime, making it the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK (and worldwide).Check your skin monthly from the top of your head to the soles of your feet and seek immediate advice from your GP or a dermatologist with anything new, unusual or changing.For all the advice, guidance and self-management tools you need to reduce your risk of skin cancer and detect the early warning signs - install the Skcin App on your mobile device for FREE - Here’s how:Go to: app.skcin.org (In your Safari browser on IOS / or Chrome browser on Android)Tap ‘INSTALL’ and ‘Add to home screen’
