So far, this year or really is the last 8 months, I have had four large skin cancers removed, 3 from my legs, one from an arm. Looking at those scars will make me think twice this summer about my unprotected sun exposure.

Acceptable skin cancer talk as its personal story and not a lecture.
Were you an outdoor tanner or indoor? Do you smoke?
Im just curious as a family member was a light tanner just from being outside and they had a face one removed around the age of 65.
Good luck healing up. If its any relief :it took about 2 years and some plastic surgery to fix the family member. They look totally normal now and you can't see anything unless you are eye to eye close.
I stayed out for at least an hour working outdoors but I did not even get pink. My skin just feels sensitive on the tops of my arms.
