Who’s got your back?

My late uncle was a Barber. He sent many men, mainly farmers, to see their doctors with suspicious moles on the back of their necks.

I quite agree with you, it's a good idea to check your partner for skin changes in places that cannot be seen.

I recently noticed some new pigmentation on my husbands back.
I urged him to visit our GP who has referred him immediately.
It made me realise how many people who live alone would never be aware of changes on their skin.
I have taken a photo of my single friends back and stored it on her phone so she can check for any changes.
I suggest we should literally watch our friends and families backs!
