Spot on my stomach

It looks like sebbhoreic keratosis (sp)?, but I've had melanoma on my leg in 2010, in situ, grade 0. This is raised and rough

I know I need to go in and see my dermatology nurse. My Medicare starts 12/1. I have an appointment in March to see her.

Just worried and venting

with lots of freckles and now lots of age spots. Those two melanomas didn’t look like anything different to me. I know the fear. I dread going to exams now.

Nice lady, she gave me the full body scan and then went to work.
Most of it was on my face. Had 3 she sent in and a few for the surgeon to do. All came back “caught in time”.

I looked like hell for a while, like I was in the fight of a life time. When friends asked what happen, I’d just point at my wife.
