Sounds like everything got caught early. Probably need to get the once over myself.

Hope it doesnt get too serious or spread.
You gotta be real carefull out there, my wifes Aunt is the head nurse at Dermatology Associates on Riggins and she said if you saw the stuff they have to cut out of people you would always wear long sleeves and a hat.

I'm still pretty young and they're already monitoring me. But with all that crazy wind in the spring its too annoying to wear a hat.

Best wishes Charles, I have a few spots that I need to have looked at myself.

I've had a couple of places removed but were ok. On the other hand, Dad gets sliced and diced lots of times for the last 20 years - yesterday they took a couple of places and it even included a skin graph from somewhere else.

Armand and our family are old friends. Half of the kids got the light skinned red hair Welsh complexion while I got my Mom's darker olive skin. I agree that you need to take all precautions you can.

Charles,

Dr Cogneta(sp) is who I saw and Maureen his nurse is my wifes Aunt. They are nice folks. They are supposed to have more patients than they can handle, shoulda went to school to be a dermatalogist.

[qoutrage]

I get sliced and diced every 4 months. All are basal ells and non-cancer.

Except; about ten years ago I had the real thing on my shoulder and my ear. My grandson was disappointed that when they cut my ear they didn't make it look like Dr. Spock.

My Dr. tells me the damage was done years ago and shows up 20-30 years down the road.
