Found another worrying spot
The YouTuber writes that the day before yesterday the doctors found another “dark spot” near the other one, from which they took a tissue sample.
“The hope is that under the microscope they will see clear non-melanoma boundaries and then know that we have removed it completely,” he writes.
In his post, the YouTuber urges everyone out there to keep an eye on and examine birthmarks.
