Two years ago I had a small area of skin cancer removed from my face, looks like it may be back again in the same spot. Thankfully before it was just basal cell, could have been worse. I have an appointment with the derma doc in a couple of weeks, gonna drive me crazy until then. You would think that I would stay out of the sun wouldn't you? Well I do use sunscreen now, but I still get my sun fix. Maybe I will have to stop now.

I am sorry to hear that is has come back,Peaches.
It is hard to stay out of the sun. Especially since I know you are craving for summer to get here.
I have to be careful also especially when I goto Arizona in March.

Wasn't too bad the first time, but it did hurt, think the worst part was then he stuck the needle in time and time again to numb the area. I kept my eyes shut, hate it when someone sticks a needle in me and takes a knife to my face. I did have a lot of fun with it afterwards though, I told everyone that I had a third eye under the bandaid, had to wear it for a couple of weeks. I honestly thought that I was going to have a huge scar, it looked nasty for a long time. But when it healed it was only a small area under my eye, most have a hard time seeing it. Now that area justs looks funny, was supposed to have it rechecked this summer and didn't-stupid me. I am bad. I am hoping that it is nothing, maybe just dry skin and age.
But do you think I will ever learn to stay out of the sun? I doubt it. Will use more sunscreen though.
Hello Guys Skin cancers are named after the type of skin cellular from which they occur. Basal cell cancer comes from the lowest part of the skin, and is the most typical but least dangerous cancer.Squamous cell cancer comes from the middle part, and is less typical but more likely to spread and, if without treatment, become critical.Thanks a lot!!
Skin cancer develops primarily on areas of sun-exposed skin, including the scalp, face, lips, ears, neck, chest, arms and hands, and on the legs in women.
