Always wear sunscreen
I have had this cut, lesion or what have you on on my left cheek for months. I really thought nothing of it except that it would not heal and I normally heal cuts pretty darn quick. So I finally got it looked at earlier this week. A lovely biopsy, or however you spell that. A core was taken, blood was spilt, an electro-cauterizer was involved. Damn I love the smell of burning flesh in the afternoon. It smells like...cancer. Yep, that's right. Its skin cancer, I found out today.
As you probably do not know I am a redhead. I have the typical red head pale skin and light sensetivity. I usually always wear sunscreen. I had it engrained in me since I was very young that I have to grease up. I one of those people that really needs that SPF 50. Fortunately, they tell me that it can be removed and shouldn't be a huge deal. But what does this mean for me down the road? Does it mean that I am that much more likely to get it again? I do not know that yet.
Anyhow, like the title suggest, wear sunscreen boys and girls. Perhaps you can avoid what I get to deal with here soon.
