A member asked:

I was told i have a small ovarian cyst. i am 59 years old and had skin cancer excision in the public area two years ago. should i be concerned?

Little concern: If the skin cancer was not a malignant melanoma and was completely excised, this should be of no further concern. As for the ovarian cyst, your gynecologist is best qualified to evaluate, advise you, treat you and recommend the type of follow-up it requires.
