I've got one coming on this Friday.
Check out the indications of a skin cancer here: https://www.skincancer.org/
I've had 9 basal cell skin cancers. My younger brother Robert had a melanoma on his forehead in his 20's. It was successfully treated and he is still with us. That raised my awareness of skin cancer.
Our parents took us to the beach on the south shore of Long Island when we were children and we got sunburned multiple times which raised our likelihood of getting skin cancer. All of my siblings and myself have had multiple skin cancers. A lot of is also ethnic risk - Irish and Scottish in particular are more vulnerable. Besides sunburns as a child, I spent a lot of time outdoors as a caddy while in high school and then later as a construction engineer on road and bridge construction projects.
I lost a good friend to melanoma. I worked with the guy and he should have taken a lesson from my bouts with basal cell skin cancer, but he didn't and his life was cut short. Melanoma can be cured but it has to be found early.
Get checked out.
