Bio

my daughter at diagnosis was 38 years old. blond with hazel eyes, she loved to swim and would spend all day at the community pool in the summer as a child, so sun damaged skin was a fairly common occurance. she is, at this point, also suspected as having dysplastic nevus syndrome, although she has yet to have the required # of nevi removed and biopsied for this diagnosis, her dermatologist believes this is going to be proven. her skin is sensitive to many different agents, including adhesives on bandages, so her excisions are difficult to protect. as her father, i am interested in making sure her treatments are the best that can be provided.
