I Got Skin Cancer At 23 & I'll Never Go Tanning Again

I suspected that doctors thought I wanted my unusual-looking mole removed for vanity reasons. But deep down, I knew something was wrong.

I'm low-key terrified of the sun now because this is what it did to my body.

You never think it's going to be you, especially at 23. But then my doctor dropped the news: I had stage 1B melanoma.
