BBC Skin Cancer News report...............introduces Lee Jordon, skin cancer survivor, now has a helpful web site to show others the danger signals as well as prevention wisdom. Young people should pay attention to him. His cancer struck a couple years ago at age 23. And he always used sun protection..!!
His skin cancer developed from moles on arms and leg so he has named his new web site:
Mole Aware
Check it out. Might save a life. Yours or maybe a friend. Lee lost a friend to this so is doubly motivated to spread the word. Take a peek at what this survivor wants to share:
Gradual changes over many months can be hard to spot
Use mirrors to see the back of your body
Use a digital camera once a month to compare
Keep your eyes on other peoples moles too
If in doubt, get it checked out, without delay
Short bursts of UV exposure is dangerous, stay sunSmart
As the winter moves on, moles might evolve quicker
Practice checking your skin for odd moles
Choose fake tanning products if you want a tan
Heat can strip your skin of moisture
Take care of your lips
Snow reflects the sun, protect your facial areas
The low sun is blinding, keep sunglasses with you
