What can be done?
Sunscreen – most Australians apply too little. At least one teaspoon of SPF30+ should be applied to each limb, more for the body.
Wear a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses and clothing to cover exposed skin.
Avoid the sun in the middle of the day, and stay in the shade whenever possible.
Have regular skin checks as an important part of your healthcare.
Consult a doctor if you have any new skin spots, or a spot that has changed in size colour or shape.
