A woman has posted pictures of her skin cancer online to try to scare people away from using tanning beds. Note: Story includes graphic photos.

Judy Cloud was only 28 years old when she went to a dermatologist to check what she thought was a scab.

It was actually skin cancer.

The Indianapolis resident was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer that can become life-threatening if left untreated.

Now, 21 years later, Cloud is documenting her long battle with the illness through a series of pictures.
