The Express’s feature on the importance of sun protection in winter featured a video of Dr Ross Perry explaining the signs and symptoms of melanoma to look for.
The headline read:
“‘I’m a doctor – this is a common mistake people make in winter that can lead to cancer'”
With expert input from Dr Paul Banwell, Founder and former Head of The Melanoma and Skin Cancer Unit (MASCU) in East Grinstead, the article explains:
- The skin is still at risk from skin cancer and damage by UV rays during the winter
- UVA rays remain constant throughout the year and can get through clouds and fog
