I hope this post will also serve as a reminder (but particularly some of us more mature folk) to have an annual exam by a dermatologist.
Yes indeed, Mo also stated this and thanks FG it is a good reminder for a must.
So many things can be resolved through early detection, and the treatments today are often quick will few lasting marks.

Hey Switch,
Like others here, I spent a lot of time in the sun when I was young. I've had 4 surgeries on my face, 2 were Mohs procedures. The largest excision was 3 inches long and over an inch wide when the cutting was finished (See pic). Take a look at my avatar, the scar is hardily noticable. You will do just fine. Oh, and remember the sunblock from now on, OK?

A lot of guys on this forum are talking about getting their head tanned to reduce the visibility of the "shadow". I hope that they learn from these other older blokes getting things removed from their faces and scalps.
Forget about tanning -- wear a hat in the sun and lots of sunscreen if not. -

Thank you Lee, and Marty and guys. Once I get this taken care of I am going to keep up on it. I do like to go with out a cap , but I have already started to use a good Sun Screen for the shine and prevent dryness. Any ways thanks for the great advise. Never knew how many guys have already went through this.

Thank you Lee, and thanks for the PM's and email's ! It went very well . And it I am on the 6 month club, which all that have went to a dermatoglist and had any work done. But I should not have much of a scar, and I am glad of that. I will always use sunscreen from now on. A person never thinks it will happen to them, until it does. But glad to have it done, and thank you again !Today is the day in 2 hours I will be on the table or in the chair, getting my nose job. So with the week beard growth, and the face I should look like a beat up wino ! Thanks for all the support guys, off to see the Doc.
Good luck Switch. Keep us updated, will you?
