“Malenoma” was part of a Google search query that sent a searcher to this blog the other day. My first reaction was to chuckle about the searcher’s poor spelling skills and to marvel that the Google search engine software still ‘knew’ the searcher was interested in melanoma. But perhaps this searcher is onto something and has coined a spot-on nickname for this increasingly common brand of cancer when, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 1 in 41 men will be diagnosed with melanoma in their lifetime.
Guys, please take care of your largest organ (yeah, snicker all you like) and love the skin you’re in by making sunscreen and an annual skin check part of your preventive health care routine. You really, really don’t want to check into the Hotel ‘Malenoma’.
I’ll sign off with an update of “Every Breath You Take” from the Police...

Every burn you take
Every mole’s at stake
Every bronze you fake
Every checkup make
Black C’s stalking you
Every single day
SPF’s the way
Every game you play
Every night you pray
Black C’s stalking you
Oh can't you see
You belong to C
How your derm doc aches with every burn you take
Every time you bake
Every ray you take
Every scan docs make
Every year you stake
Black C’s stalking you
Since your sun bronze can be lost without a trace
You can ‘screen right sun can never see your face
Gal looks all round and it's you she can't replace
You might grow old and she longs for your embrace
Don’t keep frying laddies, laddies please
Every time you bake
Every ray you take
Every scan docs make
Every year you stake
Black C’s stalking you
