Thanks for posting such an important message
I had a melanoma removed from my back in 2014 and 2 Basal cell carcinomas removed from my shoulders 2 years ago
Obviously spent too much time in the Sun surfing without sun protection from the age of 12 years old to mid 50s
I get checked every year now as the sun damage over all those years can’t be reversed , all you can do now is monitor
It’s not just Anglo Saxon heritage that’s higher risk , it can be Mediterranean or Latino skin types as well. My wife has Mediterranean skin and she comes with me every year. Melanoma doesn’t discriminate
So get checked !!
Thanks Glen
