Brittany Hockley: The easily missed skin cancer sign to look out for
The easily overlooked skin cancer sign to watch out for: Brittany Hockley reveals why she saw a specialist – as she embarks on pre-cancer treatment
Radio host Brittany Hockley is undergoing pre-cancer treatment after noticing three spots on her skin that turned out to be more than just pimples.
After visiting a skin specialist, the 35-year-old discovered that the spots were in fact sun keratosis, a form of pre-cancer, and needed immediate treatment.
She is now undergoing cytotoxic treatment to prevent the growth of precancerous cancers, which are causing her face to become blistered and inflamed.
The cream she uses has also revealed more troubling spots than the three she initially discovered.
“I’m a week into my cytotoxic treatment and I’m feeling it. My face is red and starting to blister,” she continued The pick-up of KIIS FM on Monday.

“This cream pulls up all the bad spots and the areas that are inflamed, that’s a lot more than three spots. It’s scary,” she added,
Brittany said she initially put off getting her skin check, but eventually took action after reading a news report about a young person who died of melanoma.
“I saw a young person in Australia die of melanoma on the news and it scared me so much to do it,” she said.
“I’m glad I did because the three places I was concerned about turned out to be solar keratosis. It’s not cancer yet, but it’s going to be cancer.’
