A Scots mum has warned of using sunbeds after being diagnosed with incurable skin cancer despite not showing signs of a mole.
Melissa Young, from Kirkcaldy, didn't notice any changes to her skin before she was told she had Stage 3 melanoma. The mum-of-two caught coronavirus. in September 2021 and was suffering from a high temperature and sweats - which led to her finding a small lump in her armpit.
After she contacted her GP, the 44-year-old was sent for a mammogram and a scan, which eventually detected the advanced cancer in December. By the time it was caught, the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes.
