For medical education- NSFE. She had a pretty big keloid on her left earlobe, and 5 months ago, she travelled from another state to see me!

This patient is one of the first patients that I have filmed with blackheads on the back. Posted her first video about 6 months ago. She comes in twice a year for skin cancer monitoring.
