Beauty Tips For Body Care
A few weeks ago, I saw an AskReddit post about warning signs you shouldn't ignore. One of the top posts was about someone's Dad passing away because he ignored a strange mole that ended up being Melanoma.I'm 29 years old and despite being a farmer for the last 6 (I'm constantly in the sun) I never thought about protecting myself from the sun. I had the incorrect assumption that once my face/neck/arms (the places I never cover up in the summer) were tanned, the sun wouldn't harm me. Once again, this is a stupid and incorrect assumption. Don't be like me.Anyway, after seeing that post I decided to do a quick check for moles... Oh crap. I have a TON of moles on my shoulders and back. I got my wife to look at them and sure enough, I had a couple that were quite large and a couple more that had some pigmentation variation.After a couple weeks of trying to convince myself to get checked out, I made an appointment with a dermatologist. After a quick scan, she told me they needed to biopsy the two large moles and one with pigmentation variation. It literally only took about 5 minutes for her to cut them off and it was completely painless.That was on Monday and I'm waiting on the results now. Needless to say, I'm freaking out a bit. The dermatologist didn't seem overly concerned about them but it's hard not to worry. I should know the results in about a week.TLDR: GET YOURSELF CHECKED! Even if they have to remove something, it's virtually painless. DON'T BE SCARED. JUST DO IT.
