I had a suspicous mole removed earlier this spring. Good thing too as it was cancerous. Pretty scary but hopefully they got it in time. Although the doctors aren't sure which is the scary part. I now go every 6 months to be checked and have had several other moles removed since, thankfully nothing found on them. Being fair skinned, red hair I fry pretty easy and did so alot when I was kid when their wasn't the concern. Thats when the damage was done. I use SPF 50, a Tilley hat and Solumbra clothes (SPF30 shirts). And I try to stay out of the sun as much as I can but.....
