Natasha Hamilton's career change helped her notice the warning signs of skin cancer on her mum
After over 20 years in the pop industry, Atomic Kitten’s Natasha Hamilton needed a new challenge and decided to train as a skincare specialist.
“I saw this mark, about half the size of a penny,” recalls Natasha. “It wasn’t a mole, just a slightly raised, dry, scaly patch of skin that looked a little bit sore. I said, ‘Mum, that wasn’t there last time I saw you – how long have you had it?’“I told her I thought she should get it seen to, but each time I saw her, she said it was fine. I finally convinced her to go and see someone, but she was told it was just an area of dry skin.
“I had a scare myself about seven years ago, with something similar on the side of my face. I thought maybe I’d caught my skin with curling tongs. A dermatologist told me it was OK for now, but if I kept burning it, I could end up with skin cancer within five years.
