My wide brim hat, long sleve shirt and high neck T Shirt and slack or long skirt, is my sun smart, outdoor outfit. I sometimes add a scarf and many seniors add cotton gloves to this lot. I do have sun exposure, before 10 am and after 4pm to get some Vit D. It is a balancing act, enough but not too much sunshine.
Reg and I will be making our annual visit to the Casey Solar Skin Cancer Clinic for checkups, in a couple of day’s time.  They have been looking after us, taking photos or to be more precise, using the SolarScan® technology to keep a record of our skin spots and occasionally removing suspect skin lesions, not an uncommon, occurrence for people in their young senior years in Australia.

I usually need to have something removed from my face or neck, and Reg has had a lesion removed from his hand. Last year they removed a non cancerous lump, from my back it probably would have responded to something as simple as back acne treatment but it was driving me ‘nuts’ as it was under my bra strap and it was easier for me to have a quick cut and a couple of stitches and finally be free of the irritation. It was all bulk billed. J, no expence.

I would not ever miss my annual solar Skin Cancer Clinic, it is reassuring knowing experts help watch our skin for changes. J..

SolarScan® is a device, which takes high-resolution images of lesions and stores and compares them to existing images of malignant and non-malignant skin lesions. The computer will also compare images taken of a patient’s mole or lesion with future images to identify any changes

Diagnostic and treatment centres, operating out of several Allied Medical Group clinics in Australia. Doctors provide accurate diagnosis of skin cancer lesions with the assistance of latest SolarScan® technology.

This comparison is one of the main features of the system in monitoring lesions that are not clearly determined to be problematic. The aim of this device is to assist in early and accurate detection of Melanoma. For all enquiries relating to Solar Skin Cancer Clinics Website: www.solarskincancerclinics.com.au
