Bio

I had at least 3 “radiation treatments” on my face to remove a “strawberry mark” when I was 8-10 months old. They put a square of lead on my face with a hole the size of the mark on my face, my mother held me while they did the “Xray Tx”. I am an RN, and have worked 37 years nursing. I first noticed 3 “blackheads” on my cheek about 3-4 yrs ago, then a skin coloured lump started forming next to them about 1 1/2 yrs ago,never thought anything of it because I have had similar lumps bx as negative. I am blonde/fair skin, grew up in Okanagan BC (lots of sun)
