Description

A routine hair salon visit led to a life-saving discovery for Melbourne woman Sara, who was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. Despite her upcoming wedding, she prioritized her health and underwent surgery to remove the cancerous spot. This experience highlighted the importance of sun safety and early detection, as Sara noted the cost of dermatologist skin checks as a major barrier to prompt treatment. Doctor Adrian Lim advises everyone to check for new spots or sores that persist for more than four weeks and seek medical attention promptly.
