A student who used to use sunbeds a "handful of times" to keep her holiday glow from fading has been handed a devastating diagnosis.
Lauren McLean used sunbeds just six times after arriving back from her holiday in Greece in 2020 and would always use sun cream when in the sun during summer or on holiday. But in November last year, while in bed on her phone, the 21-year-old looked down and spotted three freckles on the back of her hip.
The freckles were "odd-looking" with the business student not thinking much of them. She thought it was "probably nothing" but after the discovery played on her mind she decided to visit the doctor who eventually diagnosed her with 1A melanoma in January this year.
