So I had my skin exam...

and it went okay. I've had a little pink bump on the hairline of my forehead for months. The dermatologist thinks it is basal cell skin cancer. This is the most common type of skin cancer and it's not life-threatening, thank goodness. I am getting a second opinion and then if they say the same, I'll get a biopsy. My moles are fine, so that's good news!

Well thats good to hear about your moles. Good luck with the 2nd opinion on the bump and best wishes!

I think it's very smart that you went and had that done - better safe than sorry, I always say! Glad your moles are not troublesome and I hope the second opinion goes well.

My best friend/MOH just had a mole removed from her skin. And they found it was the beginning of skin cancer. The doctor said they got it all, but to keep an eye on it. It definitely is a scary thing!

That is great news about the moles all checking out fine. Good luck on the 2nd exam! At least your doctor assured you that it wasn't life threatening!
