Between caring for her two beautiful little girls and being a special education teacher, Melissa Albin admits she hasn’t always made her health a priority. But, that all changed last year after a chance encounter with a stranger at the park.

Melissa Albin said she was just standing in a park when a stranger pointed out a mole and warned her to get it checked -- possibly saving her life.

“It was a warm day, I was wearing a tank top. And I was watching them over on the playground and I had my arms up on the stroller and I noticed a woman off to the side who kept looking at me,” she recalled.“She approached me and she said I am really sorry if this is odd, but I want to let you know I am a dermatologist and I have been looking at that mole on your arm and it’s really alarming to me,” she said.

“I thought it looked very suspicious, and so I did a biopsy of it and that biopsy turned out to be melanoma,” said Dr. Philip Bernard, who specializes in family medicine for Cleveland Clinic.“I was very surprised because I just chalked it up to it’s just another mole,” she said.
