Last year they referred a couple of my Moles, tests came back OK.
Today, I had another one. The tests were again OK, but they also did the test where you put your head inside a bag type thingy and see yourself in a strange blue colour.
All the white bits are dead skin and the dark blodges are pigmentation. The Consultant said these should be separate from one another - mine's a sort of mass splurge !
It's OK, except the skin is giving away to age, wear and tear etc., but it is an eye opener isn't it.
Of the 20 who had the scan, two are having Moles removed, but you have to account they travel the World in an almost permanent summer.
Even so, it does show how important it is to protect your skin, wear that sunscreen and be, what you could call, responsible to yourself.
Being the age I am (and many more on Forum maybe), they only really pushed suntan lotion when package holidays started around the mid 1960s and even then, it was to 'avoid sunburn', not about future consequences.
Oh well, just felt like writing that !
