Skin Cancer

Hi, I was diagnosed with a BCC 2 days ago. I was wondering what sun cream to use, particularly on my face as that's where the BCC is. I have been stupid with my skin over the years because I don't like creams that leave my skin sticky or greasy. I prefer creams that sink in right away and don't run into my eyes in the heat. I'm so fussy and being a natural redhead with fair skin, the sun doesn't bode well. Thanks. 

  • Hi Jillypeppers,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear this - I hope you're getting on OK.

    We have a section on our website about staying safe in the sun - do take a look at this, where you can also find info about appropriate sun cream to use.

    If you'd like any further advice or if you have questions, you are welcome to give our nurses a call to talk things through. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

    Wishing you all the best,
