Several other stars are sharing details of how they’ve chosen to monitor their skin health. Reality star, Teddi Mellencamp, opened up about her personal experiences with have 12 melanomas removed.
“I went in for my 4-6 week checkup and there were three new spots my doctors felt needed to be biopsied. I’m getting a lot of questions about the spots being white. I have had both white and brown melanomas; this is why I continue to share to get checked no matter what.”
“Also, recently I felt a bump on my neck. My anxiety, of course, took over. I touched it at least 303 times,” she continued in her post, “However, day of appointment, I assumed it was nothing. And then the ultrasound came back irregular. I had the option of a needle biopsy or getting it cut out completely; the doctor recommended the biopsy to start, however there’s a small chance it’ll come back inconclusive and we will then have to remove it.”
