Melanomas, in NZ, kill as many people a year as cars do
Melanomas can occur anywhere on your skin. Sun exposure will increase your risk of developing a melanoma but they can also occur in places the sun never shines.
To reduce your risk of all forms of skin cancer minimize your sun exposure. But like all things in life moderation is key. Enjoy the outdoors and sunshine, but cover up and protect yourself as best you can. In addition, maybe once a year get your skin checked.
Also it is wise to have a good look at yourself once a month with the help of the bathroom mirror. You’ll be surprised how good you are at seeing a new or different “mole”. In my experience most melanomas are recognizable by patients before they are lethal.

So we want to hear what you think:

59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!

25.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated
