Re: Pre-Melanoma Mole

So lucky for you. You might have missed that in February I had a basal cell removed and several other suspious things (that were nothing). I think although I too use sunscreen or avoid the sun - wear a hat etc that these things probably started brewing when I was young and "George Hamilton" showed us that "tan is beautiful". Not so when you have stitches in your face!

So happy for you dear friend that all is well.
