EXCLUSIVE I broke down in tears when my doctor said cancer - I'm haunted by one huge regret and have a warning for every single man, says Grange Hill's Lee Macdonald
Grange Hill legend Lee Macdonald has admitted that he is haunted by one huge regret after having two skin cancer scares that left him in tears. The actor, 57, who is arguably best known for playing Zammo McGuire in the popular BBC show, first noticed a 'black mark' on his face that 'wouldn't go away' back in 2023, but was later given the all clear. More recently he was diagnosed with a pre-cancerous spot called keratosis after noticing another mark on his cheek - and will have to get it taken out in the next few weeks. Lee has joined forces with O2 and The British Skin Foundation to raise awareness about their recent research, which has highlighted a 'significant disconnect between awareness and behaviour when it comes to sun protection'. The star wants to raise awareness about the importance of looking after your skin, especially after the terrifying scares that he has had. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline about his health, Lee said: 'About two years ago I had a little black mark in my eye, and it wouldn't go away. 'And then it started weeping, and it concerned me. But being a bloke you leave it and leave it there. You just don't bother. 'So I went to the doctors, and he said "It looks like it's a BCC." I said "What's a BC?", he said "It looks like cancer." He said "but we need to get you a biopsy to confirm". 'And I remember going down and sitting in the car with my friend Andy, and I cried for about an hour. It wasn't confirmed at that time, but just the word cancer, that really scared me. 'And they went to the first biopsy and they said "We need you to come back to give it another couple of weeks". 'Went back and they said "It isn't cancerous", which was a real relief, but a real eye opener. 'And then not this week, I've been obviously speaking to O2 and the campaign, and I've got a mark here [his cheek], which is like roughness of skin. 'Didn't think anything of it, but when I shave, it starts to bleed, and it's not gone. It's been there, it's probably been there on and off for about a year. 'But I just thought "Oh, it's a bit of skin, obviously it's not clearing up because I'm shaving over it". 'Made an appointment to the doctors, see the doctor on Saturday, and he said, it's a Keratosis, which can be pre cancerous. 'At the moment, it isn't cancerous, but it's through sun damage.' The star confessed that he was a regular user of sunbeds when he was a teenager in a bid to feel good about himself. He continued: 'And now I've got a appointment at the dermatologist to have it possibly burn out or cut out. 'So that's where we are with that now, and it's just been worrying for me because two scares within a short period of time. 'I'm now checking everything, and I am worried because my dad had skin cancer, and he cut that out many years ago. 'So I'm just really concerned. I just think people should be aware as well.' The star goes fishing every Sunday and makes sure that he is covered in sun cream, wears a hat and has even bought a bivvy (a fishing tent) to sit in so that he is out of the sun. Lee explained that the scares has appeared since he took up the hobby every weekend in the summer. He went on to add: 'I go fishing every Sunday, and you see blokes... 'Blokes are the worst ones. We don't put cream on, we just don't do it. 'And you see all the lads. And they're proper red, and they'll, take the mick out of it. 'He'll be going "Oh look at you," but not realising, as soon as you get a bit of sunburn, that is sun skin damage. So it's just, it's just quite worrying. 'And with my son, even when it's cloudy, my son got sunburned when the cloud was out a couple of weeks ago, and his step mum went absolutely mad at me for not taking care of it. 'And as blokes, what we do, we put a bit of sun cream on, and then leave it for the day and think that's okay... But it does need to be reapplied.' After leaving his role on Grange Hill, Lee wanted to feel and look his best so used sunbeds to give him a glow. When asked if he regrets using them, Lee said: 'Without a shadow of a doubt, if I look back now, obviously, because of my complaints, I wish I'd never, ever gone near them if I knew now what I knew, then I would not have touched them. 'I would not not go near them.' He explained: 'Back when I was 16, so we're talking many moons ago, and they were quite common [sunbeds], because mine was in my local swimming baths, and also a friend of mine had one at home. 'It just made me feel I'd have a sort of half hour sunbed and feel a bit although I wouldn't be tanned. 'I would go red and then go white again in the morning. I still have another one in a couple of days. It would just make me feel better. I'd feel like being on holiday. 'You know, just feel good. And they were regular. And I think they were quite popular at the time, and they were more accessible. 'You have sunbed shops now, but they seem to be everywhere. And I didn't even think about it. 'I don't think the worry about UV rays was so much a thing. I remember never thinking. 'Now I would never ever go on a sunbed. I wouldn't encourage people to go on a sunbed. 'If the sun's out there and you're going to use it, just protect yourself.' Lee added: 'I'd discourage people from going on sunbeds. And also, when you go on a sunbed, you don't put cream on, you just get on a sunbed and you're there to the UV rays. 'To me now, it seems madness, and if people can use, you know, fake tan, put a bit of fake tan on, or a little spray, or whatever, a tinted moisturiser. Do that. 'You're not doing yourself any favors long term. 'Well, mine's proved it. Many moons later, it's come back and bit me.' O2 and The British Skin Foundation's latest research has revealed that Brits put scrolling before using SPF. The research by O2 follows The British Skin Foundation's 'Burnable Billboard', that uses AI to show real-time sun damage to skin, aiming to raise awareness about sun protection. More in depth information on sun safety can be found on the BSF's website. What is malignant melanoma? Malignant melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that begins in melanocytes, cells found in the upper layer of skin that produce melanin, which gives skin its colour. While less common that other types of skin cancer, it is more dangerous because of its ability to spread to other organs more rapidly if it is not treated at an early stage. Symptoms A new mole or a change in an existing mole may be signs of melanoma. Melanomas can appear anywhere on your body, but they're more common in areas that are often exposed to the sun. Some rarer types can affect the eyes, soles of the feet, palms of the hands or genitals. Check your skin for any unusual changes. Use a mirror or ask a partner or friend to check any areas you cannot see. In particular, look for: Moles with an uneven shape or edges Moles with a mix of colours Large moles - melanomas often tend to be more than 6mm wide Moles that change size, shape or colour over time Causes Ultraviolet (UV) light is the most common cause of melanoma. It comes from the sun and is used in sunbeds. Melanoma is more common in older people, but younger people can also get it. You're also more likely to get melanoma if you have: Pale skin that burns easily in the sun Red or blonde hair Blue or green eyes A large number of freckles or moles Had a lot of sun exposure and you've had sunburn a lot in the past Used sunbeds a lot A history of skin cancer in your family or you've had skin cancer before If you have black or brown skin, you have a lower chance of getting melanoma, but you can still get it. Prevention Staying safe in the sun is the best way to lower your chance of getting skin cancer (both melanoma and non-melanoma). Do the following: Stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day (11am to 3pm in the UK) Keep your arms and legs covered and wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses that provide protection against ultraviolet (UV) rays Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 and at least 4-star UVA protection – make sure you reapply it regularly Make sure babies and children are protected from the sun – their skin is much more sensitive than adult skin Treatment Melanoma skin cancer can often be treated. The treatment you have will depend on where it is, if it has spread and your general health. Surgery is the main treatment for melanoma. Radiotherapy, medicines and chemotherapy are also sometimes used. Surgery could involve removing the melanoma and an area of healthy skin around it, swollen lymph nodes if the cancer has spread to them and other parts of the body if it has spread to them. If a large part of skin has to be removed, a skin graft might be needed which could see kin taken from another part of the body to cover the area where the melanoma was. Radiotherpay is sometimes used to reduce the size of large melanomas and help control and relieve symptoms. Targeted medicines and immotherapy are used to treat melanomas that can't be dealt with by surgery, or have spread to lymph glands or other parts of the body. Chemotherapy, which kills cancer cells, is sometimes used to treat advanced melanoma when it has spread to another part of the body. It does not work as well as other treatments, but can be used if you are unable to have them. How dangerous is it? Generally for people with melanoma in England: almost all people (almost 100%) will survive their melanoma for 1 year or more after they are diagnosed around 90 out of every 100 people (around 90%) will survive their melanoma for 5 years or more after diagnosis more than 85 out of every 100 people (more than 85%) will survive their melanoma for 10 years or more after they are diagnosed

Four days of savings on hundreds of household essentials means one thing: Amazon Prime Day 2025 is underway. Whether you're looking for laundry detergent, bathroom must-haves or cleaning supplies, the online giant has slashed the price of your weekly staples in its summer sale.

Having covered the shopping event since its launch, I can easily spot a good deal from a dud (and have even rounded up my top tips for shopping the summer sale). Keep reading for our expert picks of the best deals on household essentials. Prime Day is the perfect time to stock up on extra toilet paper. This deal on a pack of 24 toilet rolls will save you 16 per cent on the everyday essential. Andrex is a household name and needs little introduction, of course, but it's worth noting that its paper has been dermatologically tested and approved by the British Skin Foundation. Keeping your washing machine clean can help prolong its life, which is cost-effective in the long run, but it's also better for your laundry. A cleaner washing machine means cleaner clothes, after all. This pack of Calgon's washing machine cleaner and limescale remover is currently reduced by more than 40 per cent in the Prime Day sale. It's formulated to protect your machine against limescale build-up and detergent residue, and it should help to keep odours at bay, too. Buying everyday essentials, such as laundry detergent, in bulk can often help you save. This two-pack of Fairy non bio pods beats supermarket prices at the moment, so if you're nearing the end of your detergent, now is a good time to stock up. The liquid gel formula was named best laundry detergent for sensitive skin, with our reviewer, Zoe, praising its cleaning power. 'From everyday wear to tougher stains such as food spills and mud on kids' clothes, it left everything looking fresh and spotless,' she said. Clean up this whopping 70 per cent saving on Finish's dishwasher tablets, which has brought the pack down from a sizeable £40 to just £12. The brand claims the tablets can deal with 48-hour dried-on stains, so you don't need to waste water and time pre-rinsing your dishes. Glassware and silverware should come out looking sparkling clean too, thanks to the glass protect formula, while the fast-dissolving tablets mean they'll still be able to do their job on short and eco cycles. Every little saving can add up and make a real difference when it comes to household essentials, so it's worth adding these washing capsules to your Prime Day basket if you're running low. And if someone in your household has sensitive skin, these are ideal, as they're dermatologically tested and gentle next to sensitive skin. Persil says the tablets are its fastest-dissolving laundry detergent capsules. And, you can use them on a cold or fast wash without having to worry about residues.

How to treat sunburn at home – and when to see a doctor
With temperatures set to hit 30C in parts of the UK in the coming days, despite the best intentions some of us may still end up with sunburn. Even on cloudy or breezy days, UV rays can still do serious damage. According to Cancer Research UK, over 90% of UV rays can pass through cloud and burn unprotected skin. And sunburn isn't just a bit of redness to brush off; it can increase your risk of skin cancer, speed up signs of ageing, and leave you feeling unwell, with symptoms like headaches, nausea and heat exhaustion. The British Skin Foundation (BSF) warns severe sunburn in childhood can double your risk of melanoma later in life. Yet many of us still underestimate the strength of the sun here in the UK, especially when hot spells arrive. Here's what to know about how to treat sunburn at home, what to avoid, and when to seek medical help. Sunburn is skin damage caused by overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, triggering inflammation. It's not always instant. You might feel fine after a few hours of sun in the garden or on the beach, then notice redness, soreness or tightness a few hours later. Symptoms usually start 2–6 hours after sun exposure and can peak at 24 hours. The tell-tale signs include red, painful or hot skin, swelling, tenderness, and in more severe cases, blistering. In rare cases, sunburn can potentially be fatal. The BSF advises that if you notice your skin turning pink or sore, you should get out of the sun immediately. Move into the shade and cover the affected area with loose cotton clothing. Apply cool (not cold) water to the skin via a shower, bath, or damp towel. After cooling the skin, apply an aftersun or moisturiser, ideally one that contains aloe vera or soy to soothe and hydrate (more on that below). The NHS also recommends drinking plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration and taking paracetamol or ibuprofen to help with any pain or inflammation. If your child gets sunburned Babies under six months should never be in direct sunlight, and older children need shade, hats and UV-blocking sunglasses. If sunburn does occur: Cool their skin with a tepid bath. Offer water or juice to help prevent dehydration. Call your doctor straight away if your baby is under one year old, or if a child has blisters, a fever of 38°C or higher, or seems drowsy. Use plain moisturiser or calamine lotion (without antihistamines) – but don't apply alcohol, medicated creams, or rub the skin. Keep them completely out of the sun until fully healed. Moisturising is key, and you'll want something gentle. Treat the area with aloe vera gel or unperfumed creams with added soothing ingredients like soy. Avoid anything containing alcohol, as this can dry the skin out even more. If the skin is very sore or swollen, a mild corticosteroid cream (like hydrocortisone) may help – but check the label or ask a pharmacist before applying it to large areas and avoid using on young children. Petroleum jelly or oil-based products (like butter or thick ointments) are best avoided for sunburn, as they can trap heat and delay healing. Peeling is your skin's way of shedding damaged cells – but resist the urge to pick. It might be tempting, but it increases the risk of infection, slows the healing process, and can cause scarring. Instead, moisturise regularly with fragrance-free products, and let your skin heal in its own time. Stick to soft, loose-fitting clothes to avoid friction and avoid further sun exposure to the area, even if the skin looks like it's on the mend. And keep up with hydration; your body is still working hard to repair the damage. Apart from applying some aftersun, don't touch the area. In some cases, blisters can appear, but don't be tempted to pop them – they're a natural part of healing and protect the skin underneath from bacteria. For blistered skin, the BSF advises: "Gently clean the skin the apply a thick, soothing barrier cream avoid sunbathing and apply sunscreen and keep affected skin covered." adds the BSF. Speak to a pharmacist if they're painful, look infected or aren't healing. Don't apply ice directly – the NHS also advises against using ice packs. Avoid scented lotions or aftersun with alcohol – these often sting and dry out skin. Don't go in the sun until your skin has healed – covering up is essential, even it's not that sunny. Remember, it's still possible to burn through a car window or even in the shade if UV levels are high. Skip antihistamine creams unless advised – they can irritate sunburnt skin. Don't assume you're fine just because it looks better – your skin remains vulnerable for days. Most cases of sunburn can be managed at home – but there are times when you should get medical help. According to the NHS, you should speak to a doctor or call 111 if: Your skin is blistering badly or covering a large area You feel dizzy, very tired, nauseous or feverish There are signs of infection, like pus or worsening redness You can't keep fluids down due to nausea or vomiting Children under one with sunburn should be seen by a GP. For older children, keep a close eye – they can become dehydrated or overheated quickly and may not always be able to say how they're feeling.

'Boots new free AI skin checker spotted my rare condition first go'
Boots has launched a new AI-powered skin tool that can screen for over 70 skin conditions and is available via Boots Online Doctor. We tried it out to see if it really works A new study reveals that millions are grappling with skin conditions. A British Skin Foundation study found that nearly two thirds (60%) of the population have experienced a skin problem at some point in their lives. Furthermore, skin issues are the leading cause for GP visits, accounting for one in four new consultations in England and Wales. However, there can be numerous reasons to delay seeking medical advice for a spot, rash or other skin concern. Boots has now introduced an AI-powered skin tool capable of screening over 70 skin conditions, accessible via Boots Online Doctor. The Boots Online Doctor SmartSkin Checker operates through a straightforward photo upload of the skin issue. Using AI technology, the tool provides up to five potential skin conditions the user may be experiencing, including acne, eczema, rosacea, impetigo, and fungal infections. There's a 95% chance that one of the five results generated by the SmartSkin Checker is the accurate condition. While the results are not a diagnosis and cannot substitute professional healthcare advice, the SmartSkin Checker can offer customers an indication and guidance on next steps. But does it genuinely deliver? reports Surrey Live. I decided to test it on three skin problems I've had and evaluate the outcomes. I must admit, I was rather impressed with the findings. I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosis a few years back - an incurable yet manageable condition that affects up to one in 1,000 individuals, according to the National Library of Medicine. When I ran a photo through the Boots Online Doctor SmartSkin Checker it presented five potential diagnoses, with lichen sclerosis topping the list. Considering the consultant's surprise at my GP's initial detection, I found this to be quite impressive. Another instance involved a rash I picked up while camping last summer, which was excruciatingly itchy and sore, taking ages to get rid of. Doctors concluded it was a reaction to something encountered during the trip - perhaps the grass - identifying it as contact dermatitis. Upon testing the image with the checker, the correct diagnosis appeared, this time second among five possible outcomes. For my third test, I submitted a dark spot on my arm, which I had previously had checked out. Both doctors - and the Boots checker -confirmed my initial thoughts that is was simply a "liver spot". This checker is part of Boots' latest initiative to enhance skin care services. The high street retailer has rolled out dermatology training for its pharmacists and pharmacy staff across 200 stores nationwide, with plans to expand to additional locations soon. Boots has teamed up with L'Oréal Groupe and consultant dermatologist, Dr Justine Hextall, to develop a training programme that's received the British Association of Dermatologists (BAD)'s seal of approval. This initiative will enable Boots pharmacists to provide expert advice on prevalent skin conditions such as acne, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, keratosis pilaris, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation without the need for an appointment. The comprehensive training also encompasses melanoma, understanding of skin structure, the skin microbiome, and scalp health. Jamie Kerruish, Healthcare Director at Boots, commented: "There is a clear need for accessible support for skin concerns and conditions, which is why we are so proud to be launching new technology and upskilling our pharmacy team members in stores. Combined with our huge skincare product range and beauty expertise, we can be the first port of call for all those with a skin concern, making it really easy for people to get quick advice and helping to relieve pressures on GP surgeries across the country." Dr Justine Hextall, Consultant Dermatologist, stated: "The training I developed for Boots in collaboration with L'Oréal Dermatological Beauty gives pharmacists the ability to advise on and treat the most common skin conditions. We know that the numbers of people suffering from common skin conditions is rising and, for those affected, it can have a huge impact – from uncomfortable, itchy skin to loss of confidence. Pharmacists are already highly-trained healthcare professionals, and this training allows them to get a deeper understanding of the skin." In addition to the support available in-store from the dermatologically trained pharmacists and pharmacy team members, and online via the Boots Online Doctor SmartSkin Checker, Boots offers a wide array of skin support services. These include: Online health tools and information – Diagnostic and treatment services from Boots Online Doctor ** and information and resources via the Boots Health Hub and Boots Skin Hub Beauty experts, tools and services instore – including Boots Beauty Specialists, No7 Advisors and the No7 Pro Derm Scan, a NEXA skin imaging tool in six flagship Boots stores A wide range of products – Boots is home to thousands of skincare products – from treatment for common skin conditions to specialist and premium skincare from leading brands like La Roche-Posay, CeraVe and Vichy alongside its own label brands Boots is also broadening its best-selling own label brand for healthy skin, DermaCare, to incorporate an acne range. The range includes five targeted products, classified as medical devices, designed to treat symptoms of acne. For further information on skin support at Boots,visit the Boots Skin Hub.
