@fdixon63 -
I also have had a few skin cancers removed- basal cell and squamous cell. All done using Moh’s surgery. With Moh’s there should not be much risk of recurrence-assuming the surgeon is well trained.
I have the same history- as a kid we did not have sunscreens and we spent all summers in the sun. Since moving south and being outdoors a lot the cancers have appeared on the already damaged skin.
I go on frequent body skin exams because they keep popping up! No melanoma thank goodness.
I have also taken busesonide in the past- also for microscopic colitis- in addition to immunosuppressive drugs. I don’t think the treatments have made me more prone to the cancers.
I hope you will do well this time!

Thanks for your remarks and for the well wishes. We just have to tackle these health situations as they present themselves. Did busesonide help your colitis?
