TikTok users saved man’s life by warning about cancerous mole seen in ONE SECOND CLIP
- 2 years ago
A man owes his life to TikTok users who warned him about a potentially cancerous mole they spotted -- in a one-second clip.
Alex Griswold, 25, shared a skit with his wife that featured a two-second clip of his back in December 2019.
He received multiple messages from two different people, strongly advising that he see a dermatologist about a mole on his back.
The dermatologist removed the atypical mole and let Alex know that he has a higher risk of developing skin cancer and needed more of the area removed.
During another checkup, he was told that he had another potentially dangerous mole and needed that removed too.
Content creator Alex, from New York City, NY, said: “If I had continued to look at my mole as a thing to not worry about, I’m not confident how the whole situation would have ended.
“I had less than 100,000 followers and really wasn’t receiving a lot of DMs so the persistent messages from those two users really stood out.
“For a few weeks, I almost didn’t take their advice because I didn’t really think it would be a problem.”
The earnest TikTok users told Alex about their experiences with similar-looking moles and how they had to have them removed due to the increased chance the area would develop into skin cancer.
