Posted by admin


This is just my own little Public Service Announcement to the world. If it brings awareness to just one person so they do not have to go through what I did and may well have to again one day, It will be more than worth it!

What kind of sun protection should my family and I be using? What factor?

Posted by admin


We are africans, I have a milk chocolate complexion, my husband has a caramel complexion, and both my children (2.5 years and 9 months) are light-skinned (the colour of milky tea lol)

I bought baby sun cream with a factor of 50 – i think it might be a bit excessive for us but I am not really sure, I grew up not using any sun cream but increasingly I am hearing that black people need to use it too. Like i said, the one i bought is for babies, but i cant be bothered buying a separate one for hubby and myself.

What you bought is just fine. The fact that it’s for babies just means it’s safe to use on sensitive skin for grown-ups too. Just slather it generously on your exposed skin every day, and put a hat on the little ones if they’ll wear one. Everyone should use sunscreen, regardless of the tint of their skin.

Great job for being a good mom!

How old do you have to be to get a skin cancer check and what is involved in getting one?

Posted by admin

In interest I want to get a skin cancer check in the next few years. I just want to know how old i have to be, what is involved and If they do cut out a mole will they use any numbing things?

I was diagnosed with melanoma at 21. I would not have gone to the dermatologist at all, but my mom is an RN and insisted. it was very deep. Had I waited any longer, I would have died. As it is, I have been fighting it for the past 8 years.

You are NEVER too young to have a skin exam. You will have to get naked. Go to a dermatologist, NOT A GENERAL PRACTITIONER. My gp saw my melanoma months before my dermatologist, and said not to worry about it.
