New name
Welcome to the first official email newsletter from your Skin Cancer Clinic. You may or may not be aware that we have branded our clinics with the group name: Southern Sun. This is to distinguish the exceptional skin cancer diagnosis, management, prevention and education that you receive at our clinics from all other run-of-the-mill clinics.
Our new website
Please remember to have a look at our new website www.southernsun.com.au where you can find information of skin cancer diagnosis, treatment and prevention. More information is added regularly so check often.
Checking your own skin (from Cancer Council NSW website)
If you check your skin regularly, you will get to know what's normal for you and what may have changed since you last looked. Skin cancers (including melanoma) that are detected and treated early usually have a better outcome. Also, skin cancer that is found early needs less invasive treatment.

What to look for
Look for these things when checking your skin:
- any spot, mole or freckle that has changed in shape, size or colour
- a new spot that is different from other spots around it
- any small, dome-shaped lump that wasn't there before
- sore that doesn't heal and/or ulcerates or one that heals and breaks down again
- any skin spot that you are worried about.
You should check your skin at least every three months and show us any spots that you are concerned about.
