According to research and studies, two in three people in Australia have chances to be diagnosed with cancerous, precancerous or skin cancer disease. By the time they are in old-age, around 70 or so, they have chances that they will be diagnosed with skin cancer. And it is very well-known to most of us, that country Australia has the highest skin-cancer-case rate in the world. These are the proofs and figures given by Health and Welfare Association of Cancer Registries in country. People in this country are more likely to develop a skin cancer than any other form of cancer. The reason is enough skin exposure in sun and wind. Wind! Yes, some people have misconception that when it is not so sunny outside, they can be worry-free, which is not so true. Even when the day is not so sunny, Ultra Violet rays are present and can still harm skin. So everyone needs to be very-much careful when it comes to take care of their skin. A little or sudden changes in skin can be cancerous. A mole or number of moles on your skin emerged suddenly, can be a symptom that cancer is developing in your skin. It is a call for you to go to see skin-care-expert or your doctor and get full-body-check-up. In NSW, many skin cancer clinics are available and offering variety of medical assistances and services to people fighting with or struggling with skin cancer diseases. There are different types of skin cancer diseases. So a verity of medical assistance, treatments, surgeries along with diagnosing services and full-body-check-ups etc are offered in skin cancer clinics. These clinics have highly experienced reputed and extremely knowledgeable skin-cancer-experts and surgeons. There are other experts also available along with staff members. If a cancerous disease or skin cancer is detected at its early stage, it can be treated completely, significantly. However, precautions come first than detection. If people will take care of skin-protection from harmful UV rays and sunlight and other factors (that can cause skin cancer) such as tanning pills and similar tablets etc, then the risks of detection of skin cancer can be decreased or eliminated. Even if a person is having doubt and changes in skin appears, skin-cancer-doctors and surgeons are always available to give medical assistance.

Know About Skin Cancer
Continuous increase in number of patients diagnosing with pre-cancerous and cancerous skin diseases have brought a lot more awareness in people. It is important to be aware of such type of cancerous diseases because skin is the largest part of human body that protects body from numbers of harmful external elements. Everyone must have knowledge about skin cancer, its causes and symptoms and prevention so that risk of such killer disease can be eliminated.
Basically, skin cancer is of two types. First type is malignant melanoma. This skin cancer is less common but is more serious and deadly. This type of cancerous disease is itself referred to as ‘skin cancer’ sometimes. And type two is non-melanoma skin cancer which is very common but not so serious. Non-melanoma skin cancer is again categorized in two sub-types. Type one is basal cell carcinoma also known as BCC in short. And, type two is squamous cell carcinoma also known as SCC. A number of much rarer non-melanoma skin cancer subtypes exist too. Known under-recording of non-melanoma skin cancer incidence is there because many cases are treated in primary care. Or some are treated privately. That is the reason non-melanoma cases are not so notified to the cancer registries.
Let’s now understand what causes skin cancer:
- Number one and the main reason causes skin cancer is Sun-exposure. Direct contact of skin with sunlight or harmful UV rays is the main cause of malignant melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. Each year thousands of cases of malignant melanoma are linked to excessive exposure to sunlight and use of sun-beds.
- Protect your skin from harmful and strong UV rays or sunlight. Cover exposed skin when you go out in sun. Use of SPF lotion or sunscreen cream helps protecting skin from UV rays and sun-damage.
- There are other factors that influence the risk of skin cancer. The chances of skin cancer are more in people with light eyes or hair. Those who sunburn easily or do not tan have an increased risk of skin cancer. Sudden and weird appearance of moles or spots on body can be cancerous. Moles with unusual shape and large size, or a lot of freckles on body have a higher risk of malignant melanoma.
- So it becomes important to know your skin. This would help you detecting any sudden changes in your skin. So that you can approach medical health professional for further medical assistance if required. There are many skin clinics in Sydney where expert skin care experts offer medical assistance for such cancerous diseases, and offer different types of treatments as well.

Treat cancer at the right moment
Cancer is one of the most dangerous medical
conditions in the world. It is considered as dangerous and horrific because the
person who develops this condition has to undergo a lot of pain and also suffer
the degeneration of the body which saps you of all the energy that you might
have. Apart from this, even after a lot of research people have not been able
to identify a very reliable cure for cancer. After chemotherapy and all other
manner of medications there is no guarantee that the spread of cancer would be
contained and that the person suffering from it would be able to regain his or
her health completely.
When you hear so much about cancer you
really wish that you should not become a victim to this and for this it is essential
that you should be informed about the types and causes of cancer. The one type
of cancer which has become very common in Australia is skin cancer. As per
statistics, every other person in the country is liable to get this condition
because of the harsh sun. Skin cancer is a cause of exposure to a very large
degree to the harmful UV rays that the sun emanates. With relation to skin
cancer it is often said that prevention is better than cure because if you are
able to detect cancer early on and especially in its initial stages then you
would have a higher probability of making a full and complete recovery. There
are mainly three kinds of skin cancer diseases which manifest in different ways
in the body and which can be very harmful.
If you believe that your body is exhibiting
signs and symptoms of skin cancer then you should get in touch with reliable
and reputed skin cancer clinics where you would be able to get a good
diagnosis and also be able to get good treatment. One of the best skin cancer clinics in NSW is Southern Sun. At this clinic you can get treatment
which will be customized and focused as per your condition and you can also
learn more cancer and its prevention. This would mean better results for you
and a much faster recovery. The sooner you are able to diagnose skin cancer the
faster you would be able to get your health back and this would also mean less
treatment time.
