I had a squamous cell carcinoma on the top of my head removed in December 2014. I was at a meeting in DC and this prominent dermatologist I’m friends with and I were walking to dinner. He’s done tons of research and one thing stuck. He said if I get it again it’s probably a death sentence. I don’t go to the beach before 4-5pm and never without a hat and plenty of sun block. I remove my shirt if I swim but otherwise cover. You learn the hard way sometimes. I was throw caution to the wind before the MOHS procedure. Thankfully they got it all with clear margins the first cut. Be careful!
