Co-Medical Director at the Melanoma Institute of Australia Professor Richard Scolyer says a new initiative called 'Game On Mole' aims to save lives as the nation moves through another hot summer season.
The new initiative encourages everyone to take a photo of their skin at the start of the summer season, and then again at the end of the end of February, nothing any changes to moles, or one's skin in general, before potentially visiting a doctor with the results. "It might be the most important selfie they may ever take," Professor Scolyer told Sky News. Professor Scolyer also promoted skin protection measures for Australians of all ages.
