Bio

I am Brittney, 31, Atlanta Native, Fiancé and fur mama to 2 long hair chihuahuas and one cat. A couple of years ago I had a pink freckle show up, the dermatologist blew it off as nothing. I had two severe sunburns (3rd degree) two summers in a row and over the last ten months my normal flat pink freckle turned into a pink bubble. It grew in diameter and height. It looked like a half used #2 pencil eraser. So this year, now that I have insurance, I decided to go in and have a full body check with my dermatologist. She decided to take the pink bubble off and send it to a pathologist.
