Can skin cancer be prevented?

Doctor's Answer

Hi Shan Shan,

The most important step everyone can take to minimize their risk of skin cancer would be to take sun protection seriously. Wearing a hat, regular sunscreen, avoiding mid-day sun and never ever going under a sun bed would be a good start.

Routinely checking your own moles for any change and visiting a dermatologist every year for a skin check can also ensure that any abnormal skin changes can be picked up early.
