I had one on my shoulder before transplant and recently had Mohs surgery on my face. Big scar. We r more sun sensitive bc of meds. I scuba dove for years with no sunscreen. I know wear long sleeves sunbeam, hat, and spf 50. Enjoy outdoors just be smart.

Hi @beracha 😊
Thank you for sharing! Yes, I was a big Jersey shore gal that loved to be on the beach and listen to Bruce Springsteen music with no sunscreen. So I understand your comment about scuba diving with no sunscreen. Did you live in Florida as a kid? I currently live in Florida so it's tough to completely hide from the sun even with sunscreen and a hat.
I was billed for "Mohs" on my last surgery, but I don't think I actually received Mohs. When you had Mohs, did your surgeon use a microscope to check the borders? (My local dermatologist did not)
