Typical symptoms are weak underlying structures that causes mottling, ‘pebbling’ crepe-like or thinning of skin, roughness, dryness, inflammation and hyperpigmentation. |

Treatment Sun avoidance is crucial to avoiding sun damage. When sun exposure is unavoidable, regular application of a high SPF (more than SPF30) sunscreen will provide protection against UV radiation. For existing sun damage, treatments are available to help restore skin’s vitality and function. The two major treatment options available include:
If you have concerns about a particular lesion, we offer a Free Spot Check. Or if you are concerned about several moles or lesions on your skin, as a result of being in the sun, we recommend you book in for a Full Body Skin Cancer Consultation.
We also offer ongoing information on how to protect your skin in our Learning Centre and on our Blog here on our website – eg. how to spot a suspicious mole. |
