Wear Sunscreen
What started out as an annoying blemish that would never seem to heal, and that eventually grew into the size of a pea, manifested itself as a life altering event the other day. The initial visit (and biopsy) with my dermatologist revealed that the spot was actually basil cell carcinoma, and Mohs surgery was scheduled.
After the first round of the Mohs proceedure it was discovered that in addition to needing to remove more tissue, there was also an area of squamous cell carcinoma as well.
Long story short; after the second layer removal in the Mohs proceedure, plastic surgery was required to cover the large area of skin that needed to be removed:
So... Wear Sunscreen!
