She presented in reasonable physical health and as they discussed her health issues, Julio referred to the notes taken from the last appointment. During the process of obtaining information from the client, Julio is shown a small raised, rough area of skin on the top of her ear that was flaky and red. She has also asked Julio about skin cancer and how it develops.
