Being in Love Could Save Your Skin

This February, for Valentine's celebrations, we encourage all couples to perform skin cancer checks on each other. This loving bond could help to catch a possible problem before it becomes more dangerous.

A study recently conducted by the Northwestern University in the USA has found couples with close bonds are three times more likely to perform skin exams and as a result more likely to find a melanoma in its early stages.

Our doctors recommend partners check each other's skin particularly the scalp and back to catch problems you may not be able to see yourself.

If you find any skin growth that has changed in color, size, or texture or has an irregular border it should be seen by a Southern Sun doctor.
