Exam For Melanoma

[john999]

I went today to a dermatologist for regular check-up. He found a suspicious looking mole on my back. He did a biopsy. I am not really worried, but I had no symptoms, and was not even aware of this mole. I think it is a real good idea for all of us to get checked out by dermatologist. I did have a history of pre-cancerous abrasions on my face and hair line, but no melanoma. By the time you have symptoms you are half way to the graveyard.You can even get melanoma in your eyes and intestines.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD, IF YOU HAVE PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND TAKE SINEMET. THE SINEMET CAN POSSIBILY CAUSE MELANOMA. SO KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR SUPICIOUS DISCOLORING MOLES OR ANY NEW ONES. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS JOHN, IT REMINDED ME I SHOULD SEE A DERMATOLOGIST.
