Skin check update 2

[sweetseadragon]

Thom went to the dermatologist today for *his* first full skin check.  What brought him in turned out to be of no concern but he has one spot that must be biopsied in 2 weeks and another on the bottom of his foot, like me.  I was surprised because he is not as fair as I am and tans instead of burns.  Since we have been together he has gotten better with sunscreen but in the past he didn't think it was an issue.  Let this be a word of caution to those of you who think that you don't need much sunscreen because you don't burn easily or that you don't need to exercise concern because your skin tone is not fair.

Also, most insurance plans do not cover skin checks but if you make it clear that you have a spot (or two/three/four) your visit should be covered and the doctor will check you all over.
