12. On a two year cycle visiting my dermatologist..

It was annually for a while based on a spot I had back in the 90's. It was actually the bad stuff, but a rather small spot, which they excised by taking about a square foot of skin off my back. They did get it all, because they didn't put me on chemo or anything, just told me to "keep an eye" on it.

A decade or so ago I got hooked up with the VA. Once they heard about my experience, they put me on an annual dermatology visit that held up until Covid. Missed a couple of years there, and when I went back in after they told me I could shift to a 2 year cycle going forward.

I still keep an eye out, though, doing mirror time frequently in the old birthday suit. The first time around I knew that nasty sore was back there, but I kind of pretended not to care. Dumb move that I got away with.
