Seeing as there isn't a lot of kiting going on at this time of year, it may be a good time to drop into your favourite Skin Cancer Clinic for a skin Check.
I had my not so regular check up and they naturally froze a bunch of Keretosis and small BCC's off of my scalp, hands, shoulders and also found this little (large) Basal Cell Carcinoma on my left arm just below my elbow. It started as a small lump and developed into a scab which wouldn't heal.
It grew to nearly the size of a 5 cent piece and had to be excised. The resultant excision was 4cm long and about 2.5cm wide in an almond shape. All skin to the fat layer was removed and closed with 7 or 8 stitches. BCC's are not usually deadly, but need to be removed.
Don't muck around, a single Melenoma can be the end!
