Is that freckle on your neck just a harmless spot, or is it signaling something more sinister?

Knowing the ABCDEs of melanoma, a common form of skin cancer, means you can recognize when a mole isn’t “just a mole.” Melanoma can look different from person to person, but if you see anything that fits the following descriptions, talk to your doctor or dermatologist right away.

A – Melanoma lesions can have an asymmetrical shape
B – Irregular borders that are hard to define
C – Uneven colour including shades of blue, black, or brown
D – A diameter larger than 6 mm, or the size of a pencil eraser
E – A mole that evolves, or changes in colour or size

Ask our pharmacist for advice on sunscreen to help protect you against UV damage.

Warmer weather means more bugs – and bug bites! With the right precautions, you can keep mosquitoes, black flies, and ticks at bay while you enjoy the great outdoors.

To prevent bug bites, cover up with light coloured clothing, minimize exposure to bugs (by using mosquito netting over strollers to protect babies, for example) and use insect repellent.

When using bug spray, never spritz it directly onto your face, wash your hands after application and always read and follow the directions on the bottle. Get all the “deets” on insect repellent products containing DEET, from Health Canada:

Rosacea is a common chronic skin condition that often results in redness but can also cause pimples and other complexion concerns.

Treating rosacea focuses on controlling the signs and symptoms through a tailored skincare regimen, a variety of treatments, and avoiding triggers like prolonged sun exposure and drinking alcohol.

Ask our pharmacist about over-the-counter products that can soothe rosacea flare-ups, and when you should talk to your doctor about your rosacea.
