For those following along on my mole adventure, here's the story.

In 2021, Kev took a photo of me hanging out on a patio with a stranger's dog and I was like "What's up with that weird mole on my neck? Where did that come from?" and he was like "What do you mean? That's always been there?"

I didn't know if I was Mandela Effecting or what, but I was just like "Oh okay I guess I never realized I had a big gross mole on my neck but I guess it's fine if it's been there for my entire life or at least the last 15+ years you've known me?"

Then I just ignored it until my doctor mentioned it in my annual physical earlier this week.

In the meantime, I started looking through old photos and somehow none of them show the right side of my neck and/or my hair is covering that area so I can't see anything, but I did finally find one photo from 2019 and there definitely wasn't a mole, so at least I’m not crazy. But that does mean the mole is sus AF.

I've since had a biopsy so we'll see where that lands, but I wanted to post photos to prove that I once looked like a normal person without a little goblin creature thing growing on my neck.

Oh gosh! Best possible outcome my luv! 💗

@LikeItOrLumpIt I was thinking about it and, if this is skin cancer, it's all on me. I’m very good about applying sunscreen to my face, but when I think back on it, I don't think I’m very good at extending it down my neck.

Either way, everyone, please regularly apply sunscreen and ensure you cover not just your face but also your neck and any other part of your body that gets exposed to the sun because the sun is a brutal beast and I don’t think anyone wants skin cancer or a gross mole or even a sunburn and SPF is an easy way to protect against all of that.
