Thank you so much @rachel5239 and @m1rmiller You both provided excellent information!
When I was examined by the dermatologist, he said everything looked great. The next day, I asked for the Physician Assistant to biopsy two spots and they both came back at squamous and needed to be removed. Does your dermatologist use any special tool, scanner or testing to find your skin cancers, or does he just use his naked eye for your body checks? My dermatologist uses his naked eye to check and missed both squamous. I was able to feel a little raised spot. It makes me very nervous that I have to find the cancers myself.
I am currently using EFUDEX (Fluorouracil solution) on my scalp
to try to control the multiple pre-cancers on the scalp. Have you
ever used EFUDEX, blue light treatment or anything like that?
Thank you sooo much for letting me know about your experience. You both are super comforting!!

@hello1234 My dermatologist uses some kind of tool that looks sort of like a hand held microscope for my full body checks. I was told to get them every 3 months. Initially I also had a couple of actinic keratosis sores on the top of my head. The Dermatologist prescribed a Fluoricil cream to be spread all over my head every day for a month. Quickly the top of my head was covered with these lesions. However, within that month they had completely disappeared and for the past year I've seen no return of actinic keratosis

@hello1234 I use Efudex a lot. It gets rids of the little ones. I don’t think they have missed any of mine. I just call and make an appointment when I find something. I always get in right away so I guess they know who I am. I am going for my yearly checkup next week. For the first time, my tests have been a little high. Guess I will find out what they want to do next week.
