Wow! We all hear about that but it doesn't hit home until you see it. Thanks for sharing.
schro:
WOW. Pic #2 was a bit of a shocker.
Glad you're here to talk about it and great topic!!!
We can all learn from it.

Good topic Buddha. I too had a spot (basal cell carcinoma) removed from my back about 2 years ago. It was the biggest scare of my life. My dermatologist siad it was probably from damage done while I was a kid, and it's probably true. I grew up on a farm, also had a pool, and never wore sunscreen. To the parents out there, I cannot stress enough the use of sunscreen. I'm very careful now, but the damage that's done cannot be reversed.
Sunscreen...it's our friend!

Looks like you had Moh's Surgery. I have had 6 skin cancers, 5 basal, 1 squamous cell. Three were removed w/ Moh's. Two of the basal babies were on my scalp but they were removed by a scraping process, leaving a weird white spot on the back of my head and a little dimple in the front.
I hope the brothers remember that if you have any "freckle" mole or other mark on your skin that changes color, starts getting irregular boundaries, bleeds easily, etc. call a dematologist today. When you get them early, no problemo, and if it's a melanoma, even those gotten early are almost 100% curable.
SFP--it should be your middle name, and almost all the dome toppers come w/ a SFP factor today--no excuse. I get checked out, full body, every year by my dermo guy, I wonder what I'll feel like if his lady partner does me next year--she's young a good looking--maybe it will be a test for "ED!"

Buddha,
Thanks for the wake up call.
Sunscreen is not just for sunny days.
Glad you got it taken care of.
