Grief--10 more pre-cancerous lesions
Sooner Steve:
Keep the positive attitude Saint. We're all pulling for you.
buddha:
I'm pulling for you, Saint. Having been down Basal Cell Boulevard myself all I can say is that it only took the one time for me to make hats a considered part of my wardrobe. I've gone the cheap route on the sunscreen, as well. I get the greasy waterproof Coppertone 70 and apply it often.
Have you considered using an electric during the time of healing. I have a couple, Braun and Panasonic, that I use when I have cuts that I don't want to re-open. Maybe one o' them Conair CleanHeads that people are talking about. Minor investment, I guess, I heard that they are around $35 from Wally's.
herronm:
Saint, I'm right there with you. I have them removed twice a year and use chemo therapy cream in between. Stay on top of these lesions. You are doing the right thing.
D.A.L.U.I.:
I really appreciate the support guys. But I'm not worried about the lesions--they're Ivory Soap harmless, I am worried about not being able to keep the dome cleanly shaven for a week or so after they're frozen off--and what I'll look like, red raw areas on the dome and face, swelling, having to wear a hat, looking like I've been mugged--it's a total vanity issue for me now. I know that sounds stupid, it's just me. I'm also concerned that from here on out I'm going to be a lot brighter, shine wise. To get myself used to this and to minimize future occurances, I've decided to start the 70spf Neutrogena sunscreen [formerly I used 30spf--sunny days only] today as a daily part of my routine whether or not it's sunny--just to get everybody ready for the new edition "Lightbulb" Saint :D. I'm getting dressed to go to the office, and it's bright, clear--people are going to notice me shining like a silver ball. Ladies might like it though, they can check their makeup on my dome ;D. No one, absolutely no one is going to be able to ignore my presence from here on out unless they're visually impaired.

You've got a great attitude saint. Good to hear the lesions are not going to be a problem. O0
Hopefully this will make our guys think twice before going out into the sun, myself included.
I have been a bit lax on my sun protection, and I have noticed some brown spots on my scalp that were not there before.
Can you give an idea what these lesions look like, so we can be more aware of what to look for?
Much appreciated, and hang in there!
Hey, look at it this way, you can milk the sympathy you'll get from the ladies, right? lol.
