Hi Jenn,
I had had so many moles and odd looking things removed over the years. I have had Basel cell on the lower eyelid, which they thought was a tiny cyst. Nope!
Since then I had many pre-cancerous lesions removed. Biopsies said most likely to turn to Squamous cell so I needed to have more/others taken out.

Right now, the vain person in me won't go out because two weeks ago my biopsy showed more solar damage, I had to return to get a lesion removed off the bridge of my nose. Then go back and have it cauterized for any cells in the surrounding area that came back bad.

I have this big, ugly, scab on the bridge of my nose. I can see it and go cross eyed. I have to stay out of the sun, because it blistered with the burn of the cautery.

It looks wet, and is itchy. I can put a band-aid on it and go out, but band aids pull my skin off. Must be covered for the sun.

This is damage from eons ago when I was younger, and foolish, and laid in the sun. Fair skin, fair eyes, blonde hair and burnt as a kid. No sunscreen back then.
