Don’t forget your sunscreen

Please don’t forget your sunscreen! Sunburn increases your risk of skin cancer. And sunburn does not just happen on holiday – you can burn in the UK, even when it’s cloudy.

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer and its main cause is ultraviolet light, which comes from the sun and sunbeds. Melanoma can spread to other areas of the body.

Use the ABCDE checklist to look for signs of melanoma on your skin – and learn when to contact your GP practice.
