      While having a biopsy on my butt today (laughs allowed), my derm asked me if I used a roll-on or a stick deodorant.  He said a study out of Europe indicated using a stick deodorant allowed you to feel enlarged but not painful nodes easier than you might otherwise do.  So if you're not that picky on the type of deodorant you use, and your melanoma location might drain to your axilary nodes, a stick brand might be a simple self-check tool.
