This is your annual reminder to get your suspicious moles checked out so that you can end up with a scar that looks like a gaping butthole but at least you won’t be dead from cancer.

I'm going to a memorial next week for a friend who died of skin cancer - so I add this this very important PSA, to please wear sunscreen!
If anyone is curious, this is what my scar looks like at this exact moment, about 1.5 years after the initial biopsy.
@Alice I laughed harder than I should've at this. I am so glad you're cancer free but the butthole thing killed me.
@Alice I had a removal done and the surgeon was used to doing cosmetic stuff so she didn't give me the option, she tucked the hole under a fold so it looked perfectly natural. Beautiful work. Didn't look like a scar at all. Too bad she didn't remove all the cancer.
@Alice wow! well handled boss.
The full story is that I first noticed the gross mole on my neck in the center photo and then a doctor was like "bruh, that looks sus AF" so they did a biopsy which features the photos on the left and then they were like "bad news, homie, it's cancerous" so then they gave me the option of a straight cut that would be like 3 inches long across my neck or the "pucker" option so of course I was like "give me the butthole, fam" so here we are.
@Alice do they have a way of making the butthole permanent? asking for a friend, you wouldn’t know him he’s in canada
@pkprotoplasm I was seriously contemplating getting a tattoo of the Vonnegut asterisk butthole as a tattoo over the scar if it didn't heal well, but it's barely noticeable now.
@Alice I was thinking about vaxes today, and how my smallpox scar is gone, and then I looked around, and most of my scars are gone, not sure how I feel about that.

@Alice every scar is a cool survivor story, some cooler than others!
