First doc I went to said I was too young to have skin cancer and refused to do anything about my funny mole. Told me I was too stressed and said I must be picking at it because of stress. (far as I knew I didn't mess with it at all, but the doc must be right, right?)

Second doc, much later, saved my life.

Sunscreen and protective clothing is nice, but get an annual skin check (ALL of your skin!) too.
Yikes! Glad you found a second doc. The first one should have his/her license taken away!!!
