Episode Synopsis

Skin Deep: Belfast's Derm Doc PodcastS1 Ep1 – Lumps, Bumps & Moles: What’s Keeping Us in the Dark?It’s time to shine a light on the skin concerns that have been keeping you in the dark.In this debut episode, Dr. Murphy is joined by fellow consultant dermatologist Dr. Suzanne Clements to tackle the questions that leave people second-guessing their skin: Is this mole normal? When should I see a dermatologist? Do I really need sunscreen in Northern Ireland?Together, they break down the ABCDE rule (it’s not as scary as it sounds), talk through the different types of skin cancer, and explain how to spot the signs that matter - without panic or pressure.They also tackle the myths that still do the rounds, like “darker skin doesn’t get skin cancer,” “you only need sunscreen on sunny holidays,” and the ever-popular “base tans protect you.” And yes, they’re having the sunbed conversation too.No medical jargon, no judgment - just the straight talk you need to feel confident about your skin.
