Dear 16-year-old me,

Please watch the link. I thought it was one of the best videos I have ever seen in regards to increasing awareness about sun care and melanoma awareness.

I came across it on my Facebook live feed and felt the need to share. I know there’s a lot of people on here who care about their skin and the effects of the sun.

Please continue to share and increase the awareness of melanoma.

    I remember watching this video a few months back, very cleverly made. I wish I had looked after my skin a bit better when I was younger …

    @ Animal lover and Cornflake girl – I can’t believe you had to wait that long to have suspect moles seen to! A couple of years ago my father went to his gp with a mole he thought looked bad, and the gp removed a small section on the spot and sent it to pathology. Three days later dad was diagnosed with melanoma. He then went to a plastic surgeon to have the whole thing removed. I really think they do things differently in the country. In some areas of large cities there are such long waiting list for specialists it bloody outrageous!! I hope you two have been able to see someone by now, but if not, please use this example how my dad was treated to try to get things moving x

    If only we could turn back time, sun tanning was such a trend in my day, wish I knew then what I know now though, my skin wouldn’t be in the state it is now 🙁

    I watched this the other night, found it really hard to fight back tears, the woman who holds up the photo of her family and says her partner passed away, I nearly lost it. Definitely opens your eyes.

    Ive been waiting 6 months to see a dermo about a mole on my back thats been tingling for months…………5th jan the earliest i can get in…ridiculous.

    Yeah i had to wait 5 months to see a dermo for a mole on my shoulder, it is so ridiculous how they make you wait that long, especially the stress thinking that it could be something serious. Goodluck, hope it works out all well for you.
