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.

(20,388 posts)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

(2,681 posts)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.
