As someone whose legs look like a patchwork quilt of scars from melanoma removals, I would encourage everyone to get their skin checked. Regularly! My first melanoma appeared 10 months after a regular skin check – they can be fast little buggers. I was in my early 30s at the time. One person dies every five hours from melanoma in Australia and one is diagnosed every half hour. A great article and reminder to get your skin checked. hashtagskincancerawareness hashtaggameonmole
