Skin Cancer Scars....A View to a Kill?

Nobody likes going for those yearly check-ups. Stripping down and a doctor preening every inch of your body looking for something out of the ordinary. At my last full body check, the mole in question was actually one I didn't know existed and my husband would've never thought was dangerous. But that's always what'll get'cha. The one you don't expect.

The same thing happened with my sister. She went in for a check up and then got the call no one wants. "Ma'm, we need you to come back in for some more tests." Surprisingly, the mole her doctor wanted to remove was in this really odd place on her stomach. Not on her back or chest where, as a teen, the baby oil had been slathered as we offered up our delicate skin to the sungod as we lay on our rooftop.

Everything turned out fine for my sister...after they removed the cancer. Now, she has a lovely reminder across her midsection that things could be very different in our lives today if she had not gone in for her yearly body scan.

We took some pictures on her last visit and I'll post them...she's using Oleeva Fabric to decrease her scar sensitivity and the appearance of the scar on her stomach. We'll check back in a month or so to see how it's doing.

Make sure you get your yearly full body checks. http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/painter/2008-06-01-yourhealth_N.htm

Yes, Virginia, there is effective Scar Treatment!

The guy lights a handful of firecrackers and tosses them out into the yard to entertain his friends on the 4th of July. He laughs as everyone jumps and smiles as the evening is a perfect American BBQ. Unfortunately, a spark has landed on the remaining fireworks he shoved in his front pocket and as those begin to explode the smiles soon turn into screams and the evening's venue quickly shifts to the local emergency room.

Everyday accidents happen and lasting forever afterwards are the scars to remind us of that moment.
