Recently, about 4/5 days ago a mole appeared on my big toenail. I contemplated the chance of it being some sort of fungus but my father denied this (he's a doctor). I know the incidence of ...

The catch is that while the Melanoma was caught early – Stage I,...

I realize that I'm totally spamming, but I want to pass this along. Coal is a local, recently retired narcotics detection dog from Manheim, Lancaster County PA.

Long sleeves, sunscreen, hats, umbrellas... do you use them to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays?
