Dang. May I ask how it was initially discovered?

I’m so sorry. I had it in the mid-90’s, but the margins were taken in outpatient surgery and I was fine. No surprise, the only “sunscreen” we used was iodine and baby oil.
Saying a prayer tonight for healing.

Sorry man. Hate to hear that.
It is my biggest fear working on the boat everyday. I wear long sleeves and use sunscreen. Been doing this over 30 years. Makes me nervous.

Seed oils friend. Seed oils. Do your own research. Takes five minutes

Hoping you get through this. I'll say a prayer for you.

Brotha, I feel you. My wife has stage 4 sarcoma that has mestasized to her liver. Undergoing chemo now. I will pray for you and your family.

Well genius, those people well south of you have more melanin therefore less risk than a pasty white boy whose ancestors originated in Europe. I don’t know why that is difficult to understand

The medical knowledge on this board is astounding lol yes, cancer cells can be extremely aggressive for example certain sarcomas can double in size in a very short amount of time. The assumption is that all cancers grow slowly. That is a poor assumption

That is rough! Prayers for her, that is a difficult journey

Black people don’t need to wear sunscreen because their skin basically is sunscreen.

No relationship between seed oils and skin cancer.
You must have gotten sucked into an unsubstantiated hypothesis.

I have battled skin cancer all my life. I’ve had 19 melanomas and I don’t even count all those other types of cancer. I go to my dermatologist every three months. So far so good. Between me and him we have caught them in the early stages.

When we were young kids and teenagers suntan lotion was more about getting a tan and not much about protection.
There was Hawaiian Tropic with like sunscreen 2, but many times we were using baby oil and sometimes mixing in iodine. We had no idea of long term skin damage.

Skin cancer can develop anywhere there is skin. Melanoma does not require sun damage to form.
I spend tons of time in the sun wearing short sleeve shirts and the "irregular/precancer cells" ended up being on my chest that never sees sun. 32yo and have a nasty scar from it

You listed 3 things you aren’t naturally exposed to everyday like the sun. Some of you are so fricking stupid.

You’re changing the original argument.

There is a new sunscreen coming to market next month. Bemotrizinol. Been used in Europe for a while. Supposed to be great.
I've noticed in the Derm practice I go to, there are a lot of old people sitting around. When I had Mohs for my first basal cell, there were a bunch of old people sitting around with bandaged, bleeding wounds waiting for the next cut. Skin is nice in our youth, not so much when we get old. Except for the crazy redhead women who sunbathed one day and sat in a tanning bed the next.

If you go, they WILL find something to take off. “Suspicious” or “precaution” will be mentioned. It’s how they make their money.

Crazy to reach this point because of "cumulative" sun burns. Thanks.
States with highest skin cancer rates
Utah – 38.4 cases per 100,000 residents (melanoma rate 42.7 per 100,000)
Minnesota – 33.9 cases per 100,000
Vermont – 31.4 cases per 100,000
Idaho – 30.1 cases per 100,000
Iowa – 28.7 cases per 100,000
Lilly white states that see a fraction of sunshine and high UVI compared to Arizona, Texas, and Florida. The key is not burning.
Get exposure early in the year when the uvi is moderate, skin will brown and reduce burning in the summer months. During peak sunburn months avoid exposure during the peak hours. I'm not a big fan of sunscreen, a long sleeve t-shirt and a wide brim hat combined with plenty of shade during peak hours is enough if you have any tanning ability.
