Another clear skin checkup!
We are out in the sun...alot. Metal detectorists are at an increased risk of developing problems if we dont get yearly (possibly 2x/year) skin inspections by a DERMATOLOGIST. If you have that mole or dark spot that scabs over, you need to get it evaluated. Skin cancer is a TERRIBLE way to die! If you have a family member that developed melanoma, you are at higher risk. Dark skin doesn't give you a pass. Sunscreen is not a cure all.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of your flesh. Just bite the bullet and make that appointment. Develop a good relationship with a dematologist with an excellent reputation and you will sleep better.
