You're a shade older than me, but you're definately right--skin cancers and pre-cancerous lesions can get you at any age, even children. You have to be alert, and when in doubt--get to the skin doctor and have them checked out, bc as Magoo has correctly stated, caught early the success rate is virtually 100%. Just don't think that youth protects you from this stuff. A friend of mine had a melanoma that one skin doctor missed, so not only does he now do a once a year show it all to the doctor, but he changes doctors every couple of years to make sure the doctor is really paying attention--like they generally do to a new patient.

Thanks, but it is enough that all of us remember to put on our sunscreen everyday without fail, that all the mpb lurkers who are out there remember you are not only delaying the inevitable, but are also potentially putting your health at risk [yeah, it's my newest and longest lasting rant, I'm not letting lose of this--combovers are potentially dangerous to your health, get it???] :/O---- and finally all you guys, My Brothers, --you're a h_ll of a lot of fun. ;D

Hi Saint,
I know this is a bit of an old thread but just wanted to say glad you're all good and thanks for the education on this! I'm 22 and haven't really been taking the sunscreen thing too seriously... After reading this I've realised my head will have lots and lots of sun exposure in the years to come and I'll need to be careful!
Thanks for passing on your experience, I'm running out the door right now to stock up on suncreen! :)
