A young American influencer can thank two of his TikTok followers who warned him that there was a potentially cancerous mole looking at his back in one of his videos.
Alex Griswold, who lives in New York, shared a video in 2019 in which his back was visible for only two seconds.
Then he received messages from two people advising him to see a dermatologist as soon as possible.
Alex took his advice and a doctor confirmed that the abnormal mole was at risk of developing melanoma.
The young man finally removed two potentially dangerous moles and his doctor told him that his followers might have saved his life.
Today, Alex is regularly examined, preventive measures are taken and those who follow him are educated on the importance of monitoring his skin.
