A man owes his life to TikTok users who warned him about a potentially cancerous mole they spotted -- in a one-second clip. <br /><br />Alex Griswold, 25, shared a skit with his wife that featured a two-second clip of his back in December 2019.<br /><br />He received multiple messages from two different people, strongly advising that he see a dermatologist about a mole on his back.<br /><br />The dermatologist removed the atypical mole and let Alex know that he has a higher risk of developing skin cancer and needed more of the area removed.<br /><br />During another checkup, he was told that he had another potentially dangerous mole and needed that removed too. <br /><br />Content creator Alex, from New York City, NY, said: “If I had continued to look at my mole as a thing to not worry about, I’m not confident how the whole situation would have ended.<br /><br />“I had less than 100,000 followers and really wasn’t receiving a lot of DMs so the persistent messages from those two users really stood out.<br /><br />“For a few weeks, I almost didn’t take their advice because I didn’t really think it would be a problem.”<br /><br />The earnest TikTok users told Alex about their experiences with similar-looking moles and how they had to have them removed due to the increased chance the area would develop into skin cancer.<br /><br />Compilation video*
