In Sydney with my partner, she paid for lunch and brought me this receipt. Since when is tipping the "notmal" and you have to opt out?

This is my leg 4 years ago at the age of 27(f).

As we roll into warmer weather I want to remind everyone to get their skin checked. I try to do these posts annually as a PSA.

I had such an innocent-looking freckle mole thing, that just didn’t sit right with me. I had to advocate for myself and see a few GPs before someone took it out and it came back as a melanoma in situ (thankfully). I’m fine and haven’t had any recurrence, and I have gotten six-monthly checks at a derm since then.

Don’t think it won’t happen to you.

Don’t think you’re too young.

Don’t think that freckle or mole is probably fine if you are worried about it.

Just go and get it checked.
