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! Despite the fact that 1 in 4 men in the UK will develop a form of skin cancer

Sorry it's taken so long
Finally I can give you all an update.I've been to my Endocrinologist (1st time)and I am now on a 6 month waiting list for the Radioactive Iodine treatment. I then had my bone density scan. Then back to the doctor for bloods as the result showed Osteoporosis secondary to Hyperthyroidism (the latter diagnosed

Amelanotic Melanoma
Whilst amelanotic melanoma is relatively uncommon fatality rates tend to be higher because they often go undetected for longer, are often misdiagnosed because they mimic other skin lesions and are therefore commonly diagnosed at later stages. Any subtype of melanoma can be amelanotic. They can appear

Association between different water iodine exposures & thyroid cancer: A retrospective study of high water iodine areas in China 2009-20
There are many differences between China and the UK. Including other aspects of water quality/analysis, diet, etc. For example, distribution of selenium in China is very complicated with adjacent areas sometimes have very different selenium intake.Therefore, we simply cannot pick up this paper and apply

90% of skin cancer is preventable!
1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 women will be diagnosed with skin cancer in the UK. With up to 90% of cases being preventable it seems ludicrous that the estimated annual burden on the NHS is Ā£500 million!!!!! Itās not rocket science! Itās a no-brainer - Education is key to combatting the disease and SAVING

Lorazepam experiences for one-off use
hi Just wondering if anybody has experience of taking a small dose of lorazepam before a surgical procedure done under a local anaesthetic. I am having a MOHs procedure for skin cancer (bcc) on my nose in two weeks and quite frankly I am terrified. the procedure involves taking layers and examining

Chose Cosmetic surgeon to check mole or wait 4 months for dermatologist?
How can I ascertain, whether the skin lesion at the ear lobe is indeed Basal Cell Cancer as suspected by dermatologist after visual and manual inspection of the area and referred me urgently because of somewhat unclear colour. So only 16 weeks wait instead of 2 years My private health insurance

Lauren detects skin cancer on her mother through undertaking the Masced course
āI have been in the beauty industry since 2017 and first completed Skcinās MASCED Accreditation in Sept 2019 after delving into specialising in skin treatments. On 9th June this year I noticed a change in my mums mole on the back of her arm, everything about this particular mole looked alarming.
