Pre-cancer frozen off my face

Above my left eyebrow. I'm a melanoma survivor since 2010. I knew the red lesion above my left eyebrow was NOT eczema. No, squamous pre-cancer. Asked it to be frozen off; not cream.

Spent so much time in the sun in the 70s.

Now I'm older, the cancers are coming out.

Cancer. I hate it.

I had two scooped out of my leg that were cancer. I got lucky for a long time because, I, too, was a sun bunny for years and growing up in Florida, we never heard of skin block when I was a kid. These days, I head for the shade..lessons learned

Spent hours out in summer sun. Had two places removed from my face, first one, I was blaming on my glasses rubbing my nose. My mother came up for a visit and had a fit when she saw the place and I told her it wouldn't heal. She told me to get to skin DR. ASAP which i did, it was cancer, had it removed. Had another a few years later, did not wait went to DR it was also cancer So far no more.

I am an 8 year stage 3 breast cancer survivor - Gals, get those mammograms!
