...white person of northern european descent, and having spent all of my life in the southwestern US, I am at high risk for skin cancer.

I also spent many years sporting a nice sun tan in my younger days. All this adds up to the necessity of keeping a diligent eye towards any skin issues that may arise.

I had two pre-cancerous patches of skin treated yesterday and this is the second time this has been necessary. It is a minor inconvenience at this point because it was caught early.

Early detection is very, very critical!

Please don't put off an exam. It's not expensive, and many insurances cover it. It's worth the peace of mind it brings.

Thanks for listening,

Michael
