With that being said, skin cancer is incredibly shitty. My wife has melanoma and has to get checked by a dermatologist every 3 months. They typically biopsy at least once every visit, and about every other visit they schedule surgery to cut one or more cancer spots off her.
They’re not very pleasant surgeries either, since they have to go fairly deep and take pretty wide margins to ensure that it didn’t spread. The stitches aren’t very fun, since they last for several weeks. The spots around muscles that you move a lot, like your calf or thighs are the worst, because they pull and can tear the stitches. Cleaning and dressing the bandages isn’t really great either, since you have a lot of caked on blood and ooze that’s tricky to get off without pulling on the wounds.
All in all, skin cancer is 0/10, would not recommend. Wear sunscreen.
