Re: Pre-Melanoma Mole

A few years ago I had basal cell carcinoma on the side of the bridge of my nose and had to have Mohl surgery. All is fine but I was told most skin cancers can be attributed to the sun exposer from younger years. I too am very cautious when in the outdoors and limit my sun exposure greatly. Glad your dermatologist was on top of things.
