Skin

  • Your skin is your largest organ

  • Did you know that the thickness of your skin varies all over your body?

    From 0.4mm on your eyelids to over 7mm thick on your back

  • The skin is a sensory organ, connecting us with the outside world

    and providing feedback on sensations like temperature, touch, pain & vibration.

  • Your skin is amazing. It regulates temperature, working with the brain to produce sweat that cools an overheating body or heat to warm a cooling body.

  • Skin plays a crucial role in supporting the immune system, detecting foreign matter like bacteria and triggering an immune reaction to fight infection

  • 49.5% of people in the UK are vitamin D deficient

    Vitamin D is best absorbed through the wet lining of your mouth (so get a buccal spray)

  • 66% of people in the UK remember being badly burnt in childhood

    Childhood sunburn can cause Melanoma - protect yourself and your family from sunburn → wear SPF 50 with UVA and UVB protection

  • Melanoma is the 5th most common cancer in the UK

    And is associated with higher socioeconomic groups

  • Skin lesion excision involves removing abnormal growths or patches on the skin, whether for diagnostic purposes or aesthetic reasons. The procedure ensures complete removal while minimising visible scarring.

  • Mole excision removes moles that are suspicious, bothersome, or unwanted. The procedure may involve surgical excision or shaving, with careful attention to aesthetics and thorough removal.
