This week's episode is all about Skin Cancer with special guest Dr.Emma Craythorne (Consultant Dermatologist and Dermatological Surgeon). Dr.Craythorne is based in London at St John's Institute of Dermatology at GSTT and well known star of the Bad Skin Clinic TV show.
We wanted to cover this subject as skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK. In this episode we explain what is actually happening in the layers of our skin to cause 'Non- Melanoma' types of skin cancer, what to look out for, treatment options and importantly how to prevent! ‘Non-Melanoma’ Skin Cancer refers to all the different types of skin cancer apart from melanoma. Whilst there is much overlap with both types it is a huge topic in itself and so we will cover Melanoma separately on a future podcast.
