Hi. I’ve had multiple surgeries. My original melanoma was on the left jawline. Then several surgeries to neck and axillary for metastasis to lymph nodes. I feel like one big scar

I went to the dermatologist yesterday. They found 3 more spots squamous cell cancer. They froze them. The spots were on my face. 1 spot was no my arm. I had 10 more brown spots frozen. Not cancer. Don’t take brown spots for granted. They can also mimic squamous.

I have had a mole removed to get it tested but since then I have not been allowed to have any surgeries due to the severity of my melanoma.
