I never thought of the skin deficiency thing. Will take note. How come you get free skin checks? Was going to look into it for us but pressumed you'd have to pay.

There are cancer clinics all over the country where you can get a yearly check for free.

Find a bulk-billing clinic.

Even if you do have to pay it costs the same as a GP consult i.e. $55 of which medicare will refund $32.

Can anyone tell me where I can find factor 50 suncream?

I have looked in Kmart, pharmacy, Wollies/Coles and can't find higher than 30+.

Can anyone tell me the difference betwen 30 and 30+?

I have really fair skin and will burn with any less. I also use it on the kids.

Factor 50 ? Isn't that a balaclava and a welders helmet ?

Re: Factor 50 suncream

The West Australian article on sun cream is worth a read but don't get too freaked. If you took to heart everything in the news papers you'd end up never going out and starving.

A little bit of sun is good for you, cover up if you don't want to use sun cream, apply often if you use sun cream.

I do burn very easily but must admit I'm fed up with the ends of my hair being permanently covered in sun cream.

As far as covering up goes I bought a few T-Shirts, long and short sleeved, from Anaconda which are SPF 50+. Then I only have to put sun cream on the exposed bits rather than all over. When swimming for a long period of time if it's too hot for a wetsuit, wear a rash vest and board shorts. For young kids I'd recommend one of the all in one swim suits/sun suits you can get, then just putting the cream on any bits still exposed.

Hope that helps.

Ours charges $50 for the first one, then bulk bills for each further session.
We are in the poor area, overlooking the water on the Bayside :D
