Petra Ecclestone has delivered a cautionary message regarding skin cancer, urging her followers to remain vigilant as temperatures rise in the UK.

In a recent Instagram post, she emphasized the importance of skin checks, stating, “Friendly reminder: check your skin. I inspect my moles every 3–6 months and undergo regular skin examinations. Although skin cancer is prevalent, early detection can significantly impact the outcome.”

Offering practical advice to prevent skin cancer, she advised her audience to “Apply SPF, Monitor your moles consistently, Schedule professional skin assessments, Seek shade during high UV exposure, and Avoid using sunbeds.”

Petra shared personal experiences of undergoing mole removal procedures in the past, posting images of herself with bandages. Reflecting on these incidents, she stressed the need for sun protection and care when exposed to sunlight.

Having encountered viral meningitis at the age of 14, Petra disclosed how this health scare transformed her into a hypochondriac, leading her to adopt a meticulous health regimen. She has since become an advocate for the Meningitis Trust, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment.

In a statement to Meningitis Now, a charity she supports, Petra highlighted the significance of maintaining a robust immune system and being proactive about health concerns. She emphasized the need for increased awareness about meningitis and the critical role of prompt medical attention.

Petra, aged 37, is the daughter of former model Slavica Radić and Formula One tycoon Bernie Ecclestone. Her personal encounters with health challenges have shaped her advocacy for health awareness and proactive healthcare measures.
