This was melanoma in situ - the earliest stage of melanoma, caught before it had the chance to spread.
Here's the part most people don't realize:
Early melanoma often doesn't look dramatic
It can be flat, light, small, and easy to ignore.
Waiting "to see if it changes" is how people miss their window.
On , this is your reminder:
1. Check your skin monthly
2. Don't ignore new or changing spots
3. Get that "weird" mole looked at
4. Tell someone you love to get checked too
Early detection saves lives
