More than 750,000 people are treated for one or more non-melanoma skin cancers in Australia each year, and a further 12,000 are diagnosed with melanoma. How can you check for skin cancer is to become familiar with the look of your skin, so you pick up any changes that might suggest a skin cancer. Look for:
  • any crusty, non-healing sores
  • small lumps that are red, pale or pearly in colour
