@Mellowgirl really, that is wild. my dermatologist said something that surprised me, because the usual thinking is opposite. we were discussing the fact that he really never examines the genital areas, and I wondered if the patient admits to going to a nude beach he would, or are the serious skin cancers unlikely to occur there, he was freezing off sone precancerous growths from my hand and back. He said that if a man spots something there, he comes in immediately, and women go to GYNs who examine that area. He proceeded to tell me of a woman whose melanoma, the most serious and life threatening skin cancers, died of disseminated melanoma and at autopsy was found to have the primary between her buttocks. I said, please examine me thoroughly!
