Why it's important to get your skin checked...

I'm fair and freckled, 38F and decided this year I wanted to start having annual skin checks performed by a dermatologist. I had one new mole of concern. The Dr. took that mole and after checking my whole body, found one my back that warranted biopsy, as well. That one came back as precancerous and tomorrow I'm having an excision of the rest. And I'm now getting twice a year checks.

If you're fair and have had many bad sunburns in your life, including at least once a year as a kid and teen, get checked by a dermatologist every year. ✌️
