Quick DIY Health Checks at Home
The Top Story in the latest issue of Health & Wellbeing magazine is:
“30 seconds to health – Give your body an MOT in just half a minute with these expert-approved checks”
The article features a series of very important health checks that patients can carry out themselves at home and included a look at:
- Breasts
- Moles
- Eyes
- Urine
- Arteries
- Gums
It was compiled with assistance from a variety of health professionals and Health & Wellbeing came to Cosmedics Skin Clinics’ founder and Medical Director, Dr Ross Perry, for advice on what to look for in a mole check.
Mole Check At Home
Dr Perry told Health & Wellbeing:
“As ever, skin cancer is on the rise and it’s not just during the summer when we need to be aware of any changes to existing moles or new ones.
“It takes seconds to look over your whole body, including areas such as the soles of your feet and your bottom (even though they get little or no sunlight, they could still be affected). Get your partner or a family member to check your back and any places that you can’t see directly yourself. Look out for any dark or irregular moles that seem different from the others, particularly if they’re raised, crusty, flaky, bleeding, itchy or have changed shape, size or colour.
“If you do find one, it’s more than likely to be nothing to worry about, but book an appointment with your GP as soon as possible to rule out any initial concerns.”
