Sort of know about this. I've had 9 or 10 or so removed. Lost count. All basal and squamous cell skin cancers. No melanomas. In fact, I'm having another basal cell cut out next week. Also have done the fluoracil treatment twice, once 1 % and once 5 %, both on my face, lots and lots of "fun".The treatment starts with red irritated places and ends with sores all over. This did eliminate a surgery and several precancerous tumor removals with liquid nitrogen. Used to average about 20+ liquid nitrogen freezings per visit. I'm supposed to go get checked every quarter. My first removal was the worst, behind my ear. Had to do a skin graft. Usually insurance won't pay for a graft as they call it cosmetic but doc had to fill a "hole" with mine so ins paid. This was about 18 years ago and no reccurence. I do use sunscreen but hate the stuff but use it anyway. Most of them have alcohol and it evaporates and gets in my eyes and burns like crazy. I also use a cap with flaps and even facemasks. Better than getting cut on! Prevention is the best medicine!! Too Much Info For Now!! Ray
