Pictured: Oceana StrachanA young model who spent four years sunbaking with tanning oil has opened up about her terrifying ordeal when a seemingly normal freckle turned out to be skin cancer. When Oceana Strachan, who lives in Wollongong on the NSW south coast, first noticed a small bump on her right shin in late 2019, she brushed it off as a pimple or hair follicle. Then Covid-19 and the subsequent lockdowns hit, and Ms Strachan wasn't able to get another skin check for months. 'The doctor told me I was really lucky because it didn't look like a regular melanoma.' I'm 25 and I just had a melanoma cut out, and I had to learn the hard way,' she said.
