Skin cancer is preventable, visible and curable if detected and treated early.

1 in 7 people today are at risk of developing skin cancer at some point in their lifetime.

The risk is higher for people who:

• have light-coloured skin, eyes and hair.
   

• work, play or exercise in the sun for long periods of time.
   

• had one or more blistering sunburns as a child.
   

• use tanning devices, such as tanning booths or sunlamps.
   

• have a family history of skin cancer.
   

• freckle easily or have many moles.
