( ple who work outside and especially tho...)High Death Rate In UK Due To Melanoma Skin Cancer,Health

ple who work outside and especially those whose faces, arms and legs are constantly exposed to sun are more likely to be diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer. She explained that though this is far more common and less dangerous than melanoma it is important to have it treated as soon as possible.

Explaining that skin cancer can grow from a mole, freckle or a normal patch of skin, she said that if people notice any changes in size, shape or colour, that happen over weeks or months, they should see their doctor without delay. Almost 70% of the men questioned in the survey felt that they were not at risk of skin cancer although one third of them admitted they had suffered from sunburn. The poll also showed that men under 24 years old and over 65 were the least likely to visit a doctor if they discovered changes or a new mole.

Dermatologist Rona MacKie, who recently researched melanoma in men, said, that in men melanoma often occurs on the back and this may well be an additional reason why they present late. She explained that it is important for men to look in the mirror so they can spot any new moles or changes in existing ones, she also advised that it would be a good idea if they could get their backs checked by their partners.
