Study shows third of golfers would not seek medical help for skin moles

One-third of golfers would not seek medical advice if they noticed a new mole, an early telltale sign of skin cancer.

This “alarming” finding emerged from a study of skin cancer awareness among golfers in Munster by doctors from the South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital in Cork.

“A reluctance to seek medical advice remains a significant barrier to early intervention in this population,” the medics stated.
