I am always interested in how people first discovered that they had skin cancer. How did you find out?

I think that’s a fantastic question! I noticed the spot myself. I have had spots removed before and they were all benign so I wasn’t too worried. I figured worse case scenario I’d have to go back and they’d take a little more out. Man was I wrong!

I had an unusual growth on my bottom lip. Quite a journey to find someone to properly diagnose me, but a plastic surgeon did.

What led to your diagnosis?

I was at a swim party in LA and this nurse told me that I had Black Death on my arm. She then called it melanoma. I thought she said something about Oklahoma. I eventually saw a dermatologist who biopsied me and the rest is history. Scott skincancer.net moderator
