      Just asking where I should be checking.. at last check up the Dr didnt check..I didn’t realise until Iwas half way home.

      Is it my upper neck/under my ear area I should be checking?

      Or around colarbone region/ under arm?

      I had a Melanoma removed from my shoulder blade.

          Armpit area most likely, then maybe collar bone.  Neck probably not but it can't hurt to check all locations.
