SHEPPARTON has some of the best weather of all yet, at the same time, it has the propensity to aggravate sensitive skin under the hot sun during summer.
Australia has one of the highest incident rates of skin cancer in the world and our sun is the greatest contributor towards it. Which is why, we need to take extra care during the hot summer months.
However, the cooler months where we tend to rug up more is the best time to be treating possible early signs that can develop into a nasty skin cancer. Part of that reasoning is that the ointment used in the treatment tends to make us more sun sensitive so it is best done in the cooler weather when it can be kept out of the sun.
The main thing is that people take the initiative and get any suspect spot looked at by the professionals before it turns into a cancer.
The doctors at GV Skin and Specialist Centre are the professionals you need to know about. If you have a troublesome spot, Dr Will and Dr Matthew can advise on the best treatment if any is required, before it becomes a cancer.
GV Skin and Specialist Centre is located at 20 Wyndham St, Shepparton, and can be contacted on (03) 5820 0500.
