EDUCATING THE NATION TO COMBAT SKIN CANCER AND SAVE LIVES. Skcin is the UK’s leading skin cancer charity specialising in the prevention and early detection of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer through educational intervention.

I am now in my mid-sixties and was diagnosed with CLL four years; I remain on watch and wait. At around the same time I started getting multiple lesions on my face; some were cancerous and required skin grafts, some were not. At my last appointment with the plastic surgeon I asked why I keep getting

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 statistics reveal that men are 69% more likely to die from the disease! AND outdoor workers (most of which are men) are at 60% greater risk!

‼ Shade is underestimated as a vital sun protection measure - yet it is one of the five key preventative measures that should be used in combination to reduce the risk of sun damage and skin cancer. 🌞 SLIP, SLOP, SLAP, SLIDE & SHADE!

With 90% of skin cancer cases preventable and almost all cases curable if detected early - education is without doubt our most powerful weapon in the fight against this devastating disease. 18 years on, we remain committed to saving lives by driving awareness of skin cancer prevention and early detection

And that was it, nothing else, no here’s what to expect/what to do in future, just, you’ve got skin cancer, here’s some cream. Is this what the NHS is now? I know they’re struggling, but this seems beyond scant when there’s ‘cancer’ in the diagnosis.

📣 With 1 in 5 diagnosed with at least 1 skin cancer in their lifetime, outdoor workers at 60% greater risk and men 69% more likely to die from the disease - SKCIN are delighted to partner with National roofing merchant, SIG Roofing to educate their employees and raise the roof on sun safety and skin

Sorry I've been so long getting back to you guys but I also ended up being sent to a skin cancer doctor for a biopsy before removal and a skin graft and I've been so very overwhelmed at all this happening in such a short time.

Cumulative sun exposure is the main cause of non-melanoma skin cancers (the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide) and sunburn plays a clear role in the development of melanoma -the deadliest form of skin cancer.

I would appreciate it if others taking Acalabrutinib who are also running into rampant appearance of skin cancer lesions might let me know their situation please? Thankyou.

NMSC - Non-melanoma Skin Cancer is globally the most common form of cancer. 1 in 4 UK males and 1 in 5 UK females will be diagnosed with NMSC in their lifetime - and if diagnosed once, you could have many more!

Hey everybody happy Sunday 😇I have a biopsy the 26th and I'm deadly afraid doctor said there was skin cancer it's everywhere the lesions are getting worse by the day...

However I threw a bit of a spanner in the works when I informed them I am currently under investigation for skin cancer meaning I am currently ineligible for Azathioprine until dermatology gives me the all clear or the bad news (whichever becomes apparent).

🧡 Skcin re-launched our national Sun Safe Workplaces Accreditation programme for employers of outdoor workers and partnered with SIG Roofing to raise the roof on sun safety and skin cancer across the roofing industry!

🧡 EDUCATION IS OUR GREATEST WEAPON IN THE FIGHT AGAINST SKIN CANCER!
