Reminder: SUNSCREEN!

In June I was diagnosed with a Pre-Cancerous mole (melanoma stage 0). In July I had an excision. The mole was only a little bigger than the one you can see in this pic. It was on the inner side of my leg, where my knee bends.

The healed pic is today. Other pic is about 3.5 weeks after the excision after sutures were removed. I wish I had the photo of the mole before biopsy to share.

My leg heals slowly due to Raynauds (blood circulation issue). But this scar honestly represents a major turning point in my life and coincided with the end of a bad relationship and adopting my dog. Battle wound.

I am very grateful we caught it early.

I now get a skin check every 3 months.

I am having another biopsy on a small one on my ear this Friday.

I HATED sunscreen before this. But now I wear it every time I leave the house. Please, I share this just as a reminder. And if something looks iffy, go right to your doctor!
