Skin cancer warning as woman urges others to protect themselves following early diagnosis
19.07.2022 - 06:49 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A young woman is urging others to take care of their skin while in the sun, following her own battle with skin cancer. As Scotland sees soaring temperatures, many people have their sites set on getting a golden tan.
This kind of weather is rarely seen in this country, so most of us don't want to waste our time by staying indoors. But soaking up the sun is not without risks, especially when it comes to our skin.
It is common knowledge that over-exposing our skin to sunlight greatly increases our chances of skin cancer. According to the NHS, it is one of the most common cancers in the world - and like most cancers - can be fatal if left untreated.
At 28, Zara Thomas never thought she would get cancer in her lifetime, let alone at such an early age. Being quite pale skinned, she knew she had many moles, but when one on her stomach kept changing and scabbing over she decided to visit her GP.
A few weeks after getting the mole removed, at her follow-up appointment a month later she was given the devastating news that she had melanoma - the most serious type of skin cancer. Zara was also told she would need a further operation to check her lymph nodes.
Speaking to Wales Online, she recalled:"I went from initially thinking I had eczema to undergoing intensive surgery. Thankfully tests on my lymph nodes came back clear and after having five more moles removed over the next five years, I was discharged during the Covid pandemic."
