Melanoma doesn’t always look dangerous—and that’s what makes it so deadly.

In this episode of SkinScope, Dr Sandra Jerkovic Gulin and Dr George Kravvas sit down with Lisa Costello, a melanoma survivor and one of the most influential patient advocates in skin cancer awareness today.

Known to many as @mrscmelanoma, Lisa has reached millions through her honest, unfiltered content—publicly documenting dermatologist visits, skin checks, diagnosis, treatment, and the emotional reality of living with melanoma. What started as a personal journey has become a mission to educate, normalize skin checks, and save lives through awareness and early detection.

This conversation bridges evidence-based dermatology with real lived experience, exploring:

  • What melanoma diagnosis really feels like

  • Why early detection is critical

  • How melanoma changes your relationship with the sun

  • What true awareness looks like beyond hashtags

This is more than a melanoma story.
It’s a reminder that one conversation can prompt someone to book a skin check—and that can change everything.
