Sarah Mitchell, 34, from Oregon, noticed a small mole on her shoulder that seemed harmless at first. Over time, it changed shape, darkened, and began to itch and bleed.
A dermatologist’s biopsy confirmed it was early-stage melanoma. Sarah underwent surgery to remove the mole and surrounding tissue. Thankfully, it was caught early, requiring no further treatment, but the experience served as a stark reminder of the importance of monitoring skin changes.
