About a week and a half ago when I saw Dr. Mooney, she noticed a rash on my chest just below my neck. The spot is a small indentation right at my clavicle that I've noticed since the 70's. It used to get a little light brownish discolormentation that made me think it was Ringworm or something. I do not recall if I ever had it looked at.
On Mooney's encouragement, I made an appointment with Advanced Dermatology to have it looked at. Yesterday, was that day.
I met Dr. Keith Parker. He had me remove my shirt and looked me all over. He said he saw nothing that concerned him. He decided we should freeze the rash off which I agreed to.
It was just a matter of spraying some liquid nitrogen on the rash. It kind of stung but was no big deal.
Later in the day, I felt around the rash and the scabby skin that was there fell away and exposed this red oozing sore.
It continues to ooze a bit but other than that, I'm just letting it heal.
Anyway, that's another piece of good news that I don't have skin cancer.
