CHLast year I noticed a new freckle under my foot and during my yearly exam, my dermatologist recommended doing a punch biopsy because itโs not common to randomly develop freckles under your foot.
Two weeks later, I received a phone call, confirming that it had atypical cells. Luckily, we did a punch biopsy and now heโll monitor the area every year at my check up to see if anything comes back.
As someone who has a history of skin cancer in both sides of her family, I take my yearly check ups very seriously, and I never skip them because there is a higher likelihood my spots can turn cancerous.
Prevention is key when it comes to skin cancer.
Never brush it off or tell yourself itโs always been there .
At the bottom of my foot is the last place I ever thought I could develop skin cancer โฆ thank God for my Derm.
