I think if cancer is headed ur way-it takes klike 20 yrs to kick in-jus keep ur eye on the signs without making urself nutz.

Go by the ABC and now D’s of skin checks
A- asymmetry ( are your moles shaped weirdly)
B – borders, are the borders around them jagged
C – color, are your moles different colors (one mole my dermatologist is worried about on my arm is one of my smallest ones but it is darker than the rest
D- diameter, there is a set size that doctors don’t like to see
Go get it checked out, early detection can save your life and will cost much less than dealing with a real problem

3rd degree burns are life-threatening – you MUST see a doctor. If you have no other option, find a free clinic. 3rd degree burns can cause massive infection – it’s better to prevent it than to spend months trying to save your life after it occurs. (Burns don’t usually cause cancer.)
