This astonishing story of saving lives draws attention to a very important risk that most of us ignore. exp. Dr. Melda Özekinci warned that moles that appear after the age of 35 are not considered normal.

A staunch Seattle Kraken fan, Nadia Popovici, a medical student at the hockey game she went to support her team, noticed that the officer standing in front of her had a mole on her neck.

WRITE A MESSAGE ON YOUR PHONE

Popovici, who wanted to contact the officer as soon as he realized the situation, found the solution by writing a message to the officer. Worried, Popovici first wrote a message in the notes section of his phone and waited for the match to end. Popovici, who wanted to be noticed by the officer Brian Hamilton, finally managed to get Hamilton's attention and stuck the screen of his phone to the glass that separates the court from the stands.

In Nadia Popovici's message, "The mole on your neck probably indicates cancer. Please see a doctor!" was writing. Thinking that he should do his best to convey the seriousness of the situation, the medical student then left the match, worried about whether it was wrong to tell someone he didn't know.

HE WOULD DIE IF HE DIDN'T REMEMBER!

Brain Hamilton, who read the message, thought that he should take this warning into account. The officer who took his breath at the doctor was shocked by what he heard. The doctor told Hamilton that he had a skin cancer called melanoma and was very lucky to have been diagnosed early. After the diagnosis, the officer who entered the operation quickly was treated. If he had been a little later, or had noticed a few years later, he would probably have died because his cancer had progressed.

HE TAKES HERO'S SCHOOL EXPENSES

After this situation, Brain Hamilton wanted to reach the young woman who warned him and thank her for saving her life. However, Hamilton, who did not know how to find the woman whose name and who he did not know, published a message describing the situation from his social media accounts.

When the dates showed the match day, Brain Hamilton, who met with Nadia Popovici, thanked him very much and wanted to give him a small gift for saving his life.

Dr. Melda Özekinci said that moles that appear after the age of 35 are not considered normal. Özekinci said, "Because moles gradually increase until the age of 30. After that, their appearance decreases."

Again, feeling pain, itching and sensitivity on the mole also means danger. In such cases, a dermatologist should be consulted first," he warned.

Dr. Melda Özekinci said that one should be careful when a new mole or spot is seen on the body. Stating that asymmetry is an important clue in terms of cancer risk, Özekinci said, "There is a risk if the edges of the mole are irregular, indented in places, or if the border cannot be followed well in some places. The color change also means that it is risky. Dermatology specialists evaluate whether moles are dangerous by looking at them clinically first. and then they make a decision by making a dermoscopic examination," he said.

Dr. Melda Özekinci said, "Having a genetic familial predisposition, frequent sunbathing or going to the solarium, sunburn or a chemical burn on the skin, and a decrease in the immune system affect the formation of moles." Özekinci also added that mole formation is more common in women and white-skinned people.

Listing the precautions to be taken to prevent mole formation, Özekinci said, "It is necessary not to go out in the sun, especially between 10 am and 4 pm in summer. A sunscreen cream recommended by a dermatologist should be used every day, regardless of summer or winter. Those with fair skin and their families with skin cancer. People with a history should definitely go through a routine self-check every year," he said.

Dr. Melda Özekinci also said that moles on the hands, soles of the feet, inside the mouth and nails should also be examined.
