I saw both a resident and Dr. Richardson. Both showed concern and clearly explained the lesion on my face, as well as explaining other ways these lesions might appear, their benign nature, and what to look for in suspicious growths on my skin. Use of sunscreen and a broad-brimmed hat were also recommended.
