Surviving Skin Cancer
Dr Vaughn Jones wanted to try the least invasive treatment first. She prescribed a cream called Efudix, which singles out cancer cells and kills them. It is very powerful and its effects are horrible. My patch became weepy and nasty. I started wearing trousers all the time to hide my legs, which is not like me at all. I’ve always been rather proud of my legs and enjoyed showing them off. I feel more elegant and confident in a slim skirt when I’m speaking or at meetings.
Hints for Summer
The most damaging factor in ageing skin is over exposure to the sun. It causes age spots, coarse wrinkles, small broken blood vessels and the skin to have a leathery texture. This type of skin ageing can be prevented. Sun can affect the skin cells and causes cell damage, but it also poses health threats including skin cancers. The effects from the sunburn may not be visible for years, but the harmful rays will have done their damage. Always protect your skin with creams and gels containing SPF (sun protection factor) dermatologist’s number one skincare recommendation.
