I want to take a moment to thank you for promoting this. I had a place removed at the age of 37 it was melanoma. Melanoma can metastasis in as little as 2 months and spread all through your body. The place I had removed was on my leg for at least 1 year. I was very lucky and it had not spread. I have been cancer free for 7 years now and am fortunate to be alive. I have known several people since, who were not so lucky and have passed due to skin cancer, one as young as 30. Please do yourself and your loved ones a favor and get checked! It is as simple as letting your doctor look at your skin.
