Help us help you: What cancer topics would you like to learn about? Aug 14 2:09pm | By Liz Waugh, Patient Educator (@lizwaugh)Comment receiving replies
I recently had a precancerous place removed from my forehead. It was not a big place, but I wonder what this means for the future? The dermatologist has me coming in a year from now. I have been in the sun all of my life and I know that when I was a kid, sunscreen was not a big recommendation.

@diverdown1 I suggest you take a look at our skin health support group. A precancerous spot may have been removed using frozen nitrogen? It may have been an actinic keratosis. And a gentle reminder it is never too late to start using sunscreen! Hoping your dermatologist told you that if you have an area that concerns you, to return to their office before that year is up!?
