    Twenty dollars, please. Payable in jam
    can I call you Lumpy now?
    And so what is the treatment for benign abnormal cell growth, Dr. Zen?

    You can call me Lumpy if you'd like, I guess, but it won't earn you any jam.

    Just to make the basics of possible skin cancer more clear to everyone (what the picture shows there is called an age spot in my language*, it's just a pigment irregularity.)

    The ABCDE of skin cancer:

    A- Asymmetry:
    Normal moles or freckles are completely symmetrical. If you were to draw a line through a normal spot, you would have two symmetrical halves. In cases of skin cancer, spots will not look the same on both sides.
    B- Border:
    A mole or spot with blurry and/or jagged edges.
    C- Color:
    A mole that is more than one hue is suspicious and needs to be evaluated by a doctor. Normal spots are usually one color. This can include lightening or darkening of the mole.
    D- Diameter:
    If it is larger than a pencil eraser (about 1/4 inch or 6mm), it needs to be examined by a doctor. This includes areas that do not have any other abnormalities (color, border, asymmetry).
    E- Elevation:
    Elevation means the mole is raised above the surface and has an uneven surface.


    * oops - did I just say that?
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
