Kerry-Ann Buckell (35) shared her experience, which began innocently small red pimple on her nose. She thought it was just a normal rash. They looked like ordinary pus -filled. In 2021 she pushed it and did not solve it anymore. But the pimple returned. And again. And once again, he writes.
After three weeks, during which her nose repeatedly appeared on her nose, she decided to seek medical attention. The doctor immediately sent her to a dermatologist, followed by more detailed examinations and biopsy. The well -known celebrity hairdresser admitted that she had already suspected internally that it was a little more serious. When you started searching for symptoms on the Internet, the results were clear. The words of “skin cancer” on her “literally jumped out of the page”. Still, she was still repeating that this was just an ordinary rash.
“I was never the type that rolls in the sun, I have always used sunscreen. The diagnosis surprised me,” admitted. Nevertheless, her concerns were confirmed. Biopsy results have shown that they suffer from basocellular carcinomathe most common form of skin cancer in the UK. It is diagnosed annually by approximately 75,000 people.
The first finding was removed without complications. The disease did not spread further. Everything seemed to be fine. Until November 2024, when Kerry-Ann on her nose noticed a new formation, but this time larger and constantly bleeding. As a single mother of son Albia (10 months), she realized that she could not afford to risk. After a doctor’s visit, it was confirmed that it is a return of skin cancer.
This time the tumor was surgically removed, but left a large black opening on the side of her nose. Today, however, everything is different. Her nose healed and Kerry-Ann opened her own hairdressing salon. She also attended a trichology course, a science that deals with hair and scalp diseases. As a result, he can also observe warning symptoms with his clients. They even regularly check the scalp due to possible signs of skin cancer. “I would never believe that cancer may look like an ordinary rash,” she added.
Kerry-Ann has decided to spread awareness and calls on people not to underestimate the protection from the sun. He points out that only five strong burns are enough to become a candidate for skin cancer. More than 2,000 people will die of it every year in Britain. The most dangerous type is melanoma, which can rapidly spread to deeper layers of the skin and further into the organs.
Non-melanoma skin cancer are equally severe, Like basocellular carcinoma, which grows slowly, but often requires invasive surgical procedures, which can also be visually demanding. The most common symptoms include A wound that does not heal and continues to bleed, a darker growth on the skin, scaly or itchy areas. Kerry-Ann today lives to the fullest and does not take anything for granted. It encourages everyone to protect himself from the sun and take skin health seriously.
