Yes very lucky, got my father's side with skin not prone to cancer but no one in my family ever had eczema that I know of. My father was as maniacal about gardening as me and the rest of my family and worked outside, shirtless, no hat, no sunglasses until other health issues slowed him down in his early 80's. I remember him being concerned about his first basal cancer on his nose at age 79. My husband growing up at the beach and having a pool has had melanoma twice, first time at age 26, several hundred areas treated for various types of skin cancers, but had red hair/freckles when younger with thin skin. He goes to the dermatologist twice a year and gets burned, frozen, Mohs surgery, he's had Blue Light (worthless and very painful), not counting his melanoma surgeries. Yet he has never had eczema and is outdoor 5 days a week with his hobbies. He does wear sunscreen now, but it can only protect so much.
