Skin Cancer - How To Reduce Your Risk | Dr. Thomas Dobbs - NHS (Melanoma & Skin Cancer Awareness Month)

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the world.In this episode of The Health Curve, we explore how to actually reduce your risk - what matters, what doesn’t, and what most people get wrong.Host Dr. Jason Arora is joined by Dr. Thomas Dobbs, NHS plastic surgeon and skin cancer specialist, to break down the basics: what skin cancer is, why it’s so common, and how it develops.Together, we unpack the key risk factors (sun exposure, burns, tanning beds, skin type, age, and more), the main types of skin cancer, and what to look for on your own skin.We also get practical about prevention. When should you use sunscreen? What does SPF actually mean? Do you need it on cloudy days? And how should you apply it properly?Finally, we cut through the noise on some of the biggest myths online - does sunscreen actually cause cancer? Does it block vitamin D? Are certain ingredients unsafe? - and bring it back to what the evidence actually says.If you care about your long-term health, this is one of the simplest areas where small habits can make a big difference.Follow The Health Curve  @thehealthcurve for evidence-based conversations that help you navigate your health with clarity.
