fashion designer alannah hill is the least likely candidate for skin cancer as she prides herself on her alabaster skin - even going to the extremes of wearing gloves and using a parasol to protect her from the sun .
the tasmanian-born designer was diagnosed with an invasive malignant melanoma and if she had waited another three months the cancer would likely have spread and become terminal but thankfully she now has a ` very good ' prognosis .
' hill has part of her toe removed and a skin graft from her inner thigh and then after about a week doctors will decide if she needs anymore treatment .
