Glad you are doing well!

Any skin changes need to be reported to your doc immediately. Our 40 yr old SIL just had a huge incision on his forearm to remove a melanoma. It just appeared as a wart/mole that just got crusty. They had to do 2 procedures to get clean margins. He is being checked every 3 months now. He had no idea it could be serious or so invasive.

That stuff sneaks up on you. Don't ignore it!
