Hi, I’ve had 11 skin cancer removal surgeries: 2 melanoma and the rest were SCC and BCC. Important to get checked everywhere. Currently, I have 3 month exams in central FL and start at Mayo Jax in Aug to get on the 3D scanner wait list.

I have a lot to learn. I don’t know about 3D scans. I hope that provides helpful information for you. Jax = Jacksonville?

@chanda79
I am at Mayo Jacksonville since 2006.
I have had so many BCC removed by MOHS can't remember them all. I had one SCC but no melanoma. I was seeing dermatologist every 6 months but had a change of dermatologist and said new protocol if you have not had melanoma your schedule is once a year.

The caveat to that is call for appointment anytime for a suspicious area.

I see you mentioned 3D scanner. I am not familiar with that. Can you add some information on that and what it is?
