Cancer can affect anyone, but its symptoms, we've learned, aren't always so obvious. That's why Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge urges all of us to get our skin checked - because what appeared to be just a small black freckle on her bottom is actually melanoma.

On Sunday, Tamra revealed the harmless-looking mark in an Instagram post. "I'm showing you this picture because this is what melanoma looks like," she writes. "This was just a small black flat freckle ... I had no idea!"
