When Erin Jackson walked into her eyebrow appointment in Alnwick last February, she wasn't expecting to be told she needed to get checked for cancer.
But months later, with a skin cancer diagnosis and an operation planned for the coming months, the Northumberland mum is thanking her lucky stars she booked to see skincare expert Rachel Scott - and is urging others not to ignore worrying warning signs that could be life-threatening.
Erin, 34, had a HD brow appointment at Rachel's newly re-launched Alnwick Advanced Specialist Skin and Laser Clinic. Previously, Rachel had specialised in beauty treatments, but after passing her qualifications she has now expanded to offer a range of complex skincare procedures.
