Teddi Mellencamp opened up about her recent health journey — and revealed she has been diagnosed with stage two melanoma.“Melanoma awareness update.
Despite my anxiety, I listened to the doctors and went in for my 3-month skin check last week since my previous melanoma,” the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 41, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, October 11, alongside a photo of a scar on her right shoulder. “They said I had another abnormal spot near my last one so they did a biopsy.
I got the call this morning: Stage 2 melanoma. Now, next Wednesday I go to an oncologist to have it cut out and come up with a game plan on next steps.”The reality star shared that the skin cancer likely was caused by “putting baby oil and iodine on my skin to tan” as a teenager in the ‘90s, and never “wearing sunscreen” or “getting my moles checked until I was 40 years old.”“I so badly wanted to blow this off. ‘What could happen in 3 months?’ I thought.
Apparently a lot,” she wrote before concluding her post with a call to action.“This has been such a wakeup call for me, and I hope to all of you, to love and protect the skin you’re in,” she wrote.This isn’t the first time Mellencamp has discussed her experiences with melanoma.
