    If you haven't yet, you need to report the first doctor! Leave reviews, contact the BBB, and medical organizations. He shouldn't be practicing! Save somebody else from him! Best wishes to you!

      More importantly go back to that doctor and make it clear that they failed. I think a lot of doctors become egotistical jerks ignoring their patients because dissatisfied patients don’t return and tell them they’ve done a bad job. Usually because the new competent doctor helps cover for the gaslighter….

    Blonde hair and blue eyes here. My mom had three kids. Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s sunscreen was not that popular. My mom's philosophy was "burn and then you'll tan" instead of taking the time to sunscreen 4 kids. I had a SEVERE sunburn at 17. So bed I was in bed for 3 days. I am pretty much expecting melanoma at some point. My paternal grandfather died from the disease and my dad has had several precancerous moles removed.

    I have stage 3 melanoma and my dermatologist takes it very seriously……you def need to find a new doctor who understands what melanoma is. I don’t get why these doctors say no when you have insurance or even want to pay cash for tests…. It’s not coming out of their pockets. He sounds too irresponsible to be dealing with such a serious disease

    My daughter, around age twelve, had a "pre-melanoma" removed after doctors repeatedly brushed off my concerns. Also, my kids and I apparently have connective tissue issues...Ehlers Danlos has been suggested, along with marfan. No genetic testing, though. This is the first time I have heard of an association.

    Doctors said don’t eat sugar and most of the people think obvious things like sweets or sugary drinks. But, every carbohydrate and starch is converted in our bodies into glucose. Body doesn’t differentiate between glucose made from fruits or from glucose made from eating potatoes, pasta, bread or rice. It’s all sugar. In addition what happens on our skin is a manifestation of things that occur inside our bodies. You may get melanoma in spots that were never exposed to the sun. It’s a fallacy to blame genetics and sun for this disease. There are minerals and vitamins that are responsible for providing protection against damaging extended exposure to sun. Synthesis of vitamin D happens in skin layer thanks to exposure to sun. But primary source of vitamin D is food we eat: eggs and red meat. Ask yourself a question what are you eating? Vast majority of food we eat causes internal inflammation. Cancer is a form of inflammation.

      You’d be mortified at what you see on Thai or Australian beaches then. People of all ages (and especially those under 30) frying themselves for hours a day whilst coated in oil and other things to speed up the frying process. Many Aussies, especially Queenslanders, look twenty years older than they are due to their youth spent tanning themselves. This lady just came from a culture that worships brown skin.. and tanning becomes addictive.
