BBC journalist Anna Varle shares her experience of skin cancer to raise awareness.
The number of people being diagnosed with skin cancer in the UK is on the rise.
I'd spent my childhood in the sun as I grew up overseas in countries such as Somalia, Sri Lanka and Papua New Guinea and sun protection wasn't the thing it is today.Causes of non-melanoma skin cancer During the first operation, Dr Toby Nelson took skin from near my ear to graft on to my nose where the cancer had been.Just weeks before the first surgery another small scab had appeared on the tip of my nose.My surgeon confirmed it and a few months later I was back in to have it removed.I had been dreading going through the operation again.
When I did go out I noticed people staring at me and strangers asked what had happened to my face as the scars were red and still healing.At first it was painful to apply and I asked for the camera to be kept at a distance as I was self-conscious.A couple of months on I feel comfortable being in front of the camera and no longer ask for a wide shot.
