Learning The ABCDE’s of Skin Cancer and How to Find A Skin Cancer Certified Practitioner with Jane Homberger of Skin Smart Australia

 The incidence of skin cancer in Australia is one of the highest in the world, two to three times the rates in Canada, the US and the UK.
 
In 2015, 2162 people died from skin cancer in Australia, 1520 from melanoma and 642 from non-melanoma skin cancers.
 
Melanoma kills more young Australians (20-39 year olds) than any other single cancer. 
 
 To put it into perspective in Australia in 2015, there were 1520 deaths due to melanoma and in the same year there were 1,209 deaths due on our roads.  
There is more and more research into the cause and treatment of melanoma plus awareness initiatives such as #calltimeonmelanoma and today we will be diving into the depths of different types of skin cancer and what to look for on your skin. 
 
Welcome to episode number 5 of the Heal Thy Skin Podcast, I’m Marni, your host and today I am speaking with Jane Homberger from Skin Smart Australia. Jane is a Registered Nurse, holds a Post Graduate Diploma in General Practice Nursing and Professional Diploma in Dermatoscopy and is the CEO of Skin Smart Australia, a company that provides mole mapping and corporate skin cancer checks across Australia.
 
Jane shares how her journey into skin cancer medicine, inspired the beginnings of Skin Smart Australia and the importance having your skin checked by a certified dermatoscopist.
 
The 3 deeper than skin insights that Jane shared that stood out to me were:
Know your ABCDE!! 
A stands for asymmetry - If you were to place a cross through your mole, are all four pieces identical?
B is for border – A healthy mole has a border that fades consistently into the periphery with no abrupt border.
C is for colour. A mole with two or more colours is more concerning than a mole with only one colour.
D is for diameter. A melanoma is commonly larger than 6mmin diameter. Please be aware though that most moles over 6mm will not be melanomas.
Finally E is for evolution. Something changing and evolving.
2. Melanoma can occur on anyone in moles that you’ve had all your life.
3. Book in for a mole map! Mole maps should be part of your annual health check up.

Why Common Laser Treatments could Delay the Diagnosis of Skin Cancer with Fiona Moss

 How many of you have had laser? Laser or IPL hair removal, laser pigmentation removal, laser for reducing redness. There are so many aesthetic treatments that use lasers to smooth out, refine or reduce the appearance of imperfections on the skin. When you had your initial consultation, was it mandatory for you to have a skin check or mole map? Lasers work by targeting different chromophores in the skin, such a pigment in hair or a freckle or blood like in a dilated capillaries…. What also contains these chromophores? Benign and both malignant lesions, therefore these treatments may also target and destroy the clues to malignancy in a mole, or a lump, or a bump on the skin. Welcome to episode number 7 of the Heal Thy Skin Podcast, I’m Marni, your host and today I am speaking with Fiona Moss, Dermal Clinician, Dermatoscopist and University Supervisor.  Fiona shares how her journey into dermoscopy altered the way she viewed laser treatments and the importance of having your skin checked by a skin cancer specialist prior to undergoing aesthetic treatments.  . . .

Know your ABC’s of UV with Sam Sheehan of Suncayr Australia

Studies have shown that consumers are not using enough sunscreen, with an avg of people using only 25% of the sunscreen that they should be. We need two teaspoons worth of sunscreen for your head, shoulders, and neck, and two tablespoons worth for the rest of your body. 
 
Welcome to episode number 8 of the Heal Thy Skin Podcast, I’m Marni your host and today I am speaking with Sam Sheehan, Managing Director of Suncayr Australia and Asia.
 
The mission of Suncayr  is to give you the UV awareness that you need to safely enjoy every day you spend outside. 
 
Sunscreen is not a complete solution. Since sunscreen is invisible when it's both working and not working, how do you know that your sunscreen is still doing its job? 
 
To solve this problem, Suncayr developed SPOT, a smart UV-indicating sticker to take the guesswork out of applying and reapplying sunscreen
Sam shares how his journey into SunSmart awareness bought advanced technology and research to an everyday routine and the importance of knowing you’re protected in the sun.

Why Taking a Holistic Approach to Acne Leads to Better Outcomes with Carly Whytcross of CAP’s Clinic

 Almost everyone at some point in their life will experience acne. From teenage breakouts to persistent inflamed cystic acne in adulthood. I’m sure you’ve had at least one experience of trying to conceal, dry out or reduce a dreaded breakout on your skin….. And usually, it seems to occur right before an event.
 
I am no stranger to acne myself. I had the usual hormonal breakouts as a teen, but they were persistent, sore and red… I even recall not going to school some days because I was so self-conscious of my skin… then it calmed down in my later teens and reappeared with a vengeance in my early 20s. Ironically this was when I was studying at uni and working in a skin clinic where I had access to every topical skin care cream, serum, treatment and peel possible… but it got worse, it was only when I took a hard look at my lifestyle and stopped overdoing it that my skin improved… and now I’ve just turned 30 and I don’t recall the last time I felt worried about leaving the house because of my breakouts…. But it’s been a journey.
 
Welcome to episode number 9 of the Heal Thy Skin Podcast, I’m Marni, your host and today I am speaking with Carly Whytcross, Dermal Clinician at CAPS plastic surgery clinic in Canberra.
 
Carly graduated with a Bachelor of Health Science Dermal Therapies degree in 2010. For the past 12 years, she has worked in Canberra’s leading Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinic (CAPS Clinic) for renowned Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr Alastair Taylor.
 
Carly is the Dermal Clinician and unit manager within the practice and her experience and dedication have led her towards mentoring, training and educating new staff within the practice as well as a past clinic supervisor at Victoria University. She is passionate about all facets of the dermal sector including advocating on behalf of and creating awareness of the special skill set of Dermal Clinicians. Clinically, her eye for detail has created a special interest in treating acne and photodamage.
 
Carly shares how viewing acne more holistically leads to better outcomes and some practical tips on how you can treat or seek out treatment for your own acne or acne scarring.
