Some experts say that getting sunburnt just once in your life is enough to significantly increase your chances of developing skin cancer. Self tanning, or fake tan, products have long been marketed as a safe alternative. New products like Fake Bake have overcome the synthetic look of the original fake tan products. This new breed of treatments provides the look of a real tan without any of the associated risks.

[7/14/08] Hundreds of people suffer skin complaints from defective sofas
At present in excess of 700 people are pursuing a legal action but it is estimated that there may be a further 1400 people affected that have not yet reported their sofa injuries.
As seen on Watchdog, the problem appears to have been narrowed down to the bags of fungicide within the sofas. Argos have withdrawn their affected ’Pia’ and ’Bari’ ranges but other retailers have continued to sell the sofas in question.
Often symptoms do not appear for several weeks and the victims are at a loss to explain what could have caused them. Symptoms include itchy, blistered skin and often the victims are in such extreme discomfort as to warrant hospital treatment. A common issue is that often the people suffering the skin problems have not had the cause of their problem successfully identified until seeking specialist help from a dermatologist.
