Looks like you are getting good medical care. Did you have a past history of skin burns and excessive sun exposure?

I agree with being stressful. Hard not worry about. It seems like my skin cancer are really getting worse (more of them) and can't figure out why the changed from BCCs to SCCs.

I just learned what the in situ meant as I researched my last SCC surgery. If going to have SCC you want it to be in situ. I just had two surgeries for SCC. One was done via MOHS and the other cut and cauterized. Seems one was in situ and the other deep growing.

If you don't mind answering, what is skin mapping?

@jc76 my dermatologist said skin mapping is making a map of where they all are to track them better. Location and diameter and depth. Size progression and where spreading speed etc.
