Accuro Insurance, a New Zealand owned and operated health insurance provider, rolled out a new membership benefits programme for its members in December of 2017. The long-standing benefit program has seen Accuro’s members gaining access to everything from dentists to health foods.

When you have a big old cold sore on your lip, you would probably prefer to hide away until it disappears. But this herpes simplex virus has actually been identified as the perfect therapy for melanomas.

Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. It is a cancerous growth that occurs when unrepaired DNA damage causes skin cells to mutate. It is often due to ultraviolet exposure from natural sunlight or sunbeds. Melanoma symptoms often resemble moles, which means they can be easy to miss. Some melanomas develop from existing moles, which means it is vital that we check our moles regularly.
