        That’s about my understanding too. I asked my doctor for a referral to have a body check of all the moles. I hope now that he has found something he will be more thorough. He did have concern in his voice when he told me what they were, but tried to reassure me. Thanks.

          I have seen that some dermatologist offices will have dates for free skin cancer screenings. I would call around your dermo clinics and see if they are offering it anytime soon. Should be with summer coming. I’m from Texas as well but live in Florida and my dermatologist is offering it later this month. Good luck.
