If you notice a new spot or a change in an existing one, it is recommended you seek assessment from a doctor

It’s important to get to know your skin. If you notice any changes in the size, shape or colour of an existing spot, or the development of a new spot, you should get it checked by a professional as soon as possible.

When the UV is 3 or above, make sure you are using a water-resistant SPF50 or SPF50+ sunscreen.

Incidental sun exposure adds up.

That’s why it’s important to protect your skin when you’re out and about to reduce your risk of developing skin cancer.

Remember to: Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat, seek shade and slide on sunnies.

For personalised advice, book an appointment to see your doctor.

Did you know that during daily activities, such as walking the dog, gardening or hanging out the washing, you can get caught off guard by UV radiation you're not conscious of?

This week we’re encouraging you to protect your skin from UV exposure and make sun protection a daily habit to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer

Many skin cancers develop slowly and may not show obvious warning signs at first.

Routine skin checks matter, even if you’ve never had a concerning spot before.

We say a big welcome to Dr Nahar Moushumi.

Dr Quamrun Nahar Siddiqua Moushumi has additional training in skin cancer medicine and surgery and holds a Professional Diploma in Skin Cancer Surgery and Medicine. She has been practising in this field since 2018 and has over 12 years of continuous experience within the Australian healthcare system here in Perth as a medical practitioner.

She is trained in performing comprehensive skin checks with Dermoscopy, as well as skin biopsies, excisions and non-surgical treatment options including cryotherapy, diathermy and topical treatments for pre-malignant skin lesions. Dr Moushumi has experience in Dermoscopy-based lesion assessment and primary care procedures, including skin biopsies, simple excision , local flaps and full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs). She also performs cosmetic mole removal, with careful attention to technique and cosmetic outcome.

Dr Moushumi takes the time to listen to each patient's concerns and explain findings clearly, so they feel informed and at ease throughout every step of their visit. Passionate about the early detection and management of skin cancers, she works closely with patients to help them understand sun-related skin conditions and how to protect their skin going forward. She recognises that a skin check or diagnosis can feel worrying, and she focuses on creating a calm, supportive environment where patients feel heard and cared for.

When treatment is needed, Dr Moushumi discusses the available surgical and non-surgical options with her patients, so they can make informed decisions about their care with attention to cosmetic outcomes. Her approach centres on open communication, so patients leave each appointment with a clear understanding of their skin health and next steps.

Around 500,000 Australians have a common non-melanoma skin cancer surgically removed each year.

New data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) shows that around 2% of Australians have a common non-melanoma skin cancer surgically removed each year. Common non-melanoma skin cancer is estimated to be up to three times as common as all other cancers combined.

Rates are higher among men, older Australians and people living in regional areas.

Being aware of changes to your skin and speaking with a health professional about anything concerning can help identify changes that may require further assessment.

Myth: Sunscreen is only needed outdoors.

Fact: UV exposure happens anywhere outdoors and even through windows.

This is your reminder to prioritise your skin health by scheduling your next appointment.

Skin cancer doesn’t only appear on areas that see the sun, it may develop anywhere on the body.

If you notice something new, or a mole that looks different than before, it’s important to have it reviewed by a doctor.
