Weird little dots..

Moles are weird little dots that some people have all over and some people have just a couple. Obviously I am talking about moles on your body and not the ones in your yard. It makes me wonder why some people have them and others don't. Its like god's way of branding some people. Really I am branded with freckles and not too many moles but still its something that makes people stand out. And are they bad? I mean Sara Jessica Parker recently had her famous face mole removed- I wonder why? I don't think moles are bad, just curious little things that dot the skin of people.

As a redhead I am naturally concerned about my skin and Big/Little reds' since we are prone to skin problems; okay not prone but we are the whitest of the white so we have to be careful. After someone close had a mole-scare, Big Red and myself decided to get some of ours checked out- just to be sure.

So here is what we learned...

1. You have to get basically naked for them to do a thorough exam. So its like "okay under my fat roll here, yeah can you check that mole."
2. Its the closest thing to a gynecological visit for a man.
3. Our doctor lives like four houses down - and now has seen us naked.
4. The white little dots I have on my stomach and legs are reverse freckles. Fun!
5. The names of any type of mole, weird freckle or scaly patch of skin are so hard to pronounce that really its not worth it even trying and I think the doctors just say the names over and over to make themselves seem smart.
6. The people that are worried about skin problems are usually not the ones that have problems. Well that is comforting.

So there you go. My post for my friend who is bored at work and wanted something to read about.
