Protect Your Skin: Access Dermatology Consultations Across Ireland

Did you know that the largest organ in the human body is the skin?

The skin functions as the body's first line of defence against infection (protection), plays a key role in regulating body temperature (thermoregulation), and allows us to feel sensations like touch, heat and pain (Lawton, 2019) - making it vital that we do all that we can to help it- so that it, can help you.

When to get checked:

It is crucial that you get yourself and family checked by a registered GP if you notice the development of new moles, changes in the size or appearance of existing moles, any new lumps, bumps, skin tags or freckles- or even simply for peace of mind.

Why this is so important:

According to the Irish Cancer Society, Skin Cancer is the most common form in Ireland with approximately 11,000 cases identified annually. According to the National Cancer Registry of Ireland (NCRI) this number is expected to double by 2040 (Irish Cancer Society, n.d.). However, it remains to be one of the most treatable cancers provided it is caught early.
