So what does precancer mean?

Ugg. The dermatologist called. Precancer. From my preliminary research this doesn't appear to be a big deal. If it were a big deal I would think the doctor would have called and spoken to me herself which didn't happen. Lucky me I get to have the rest of it "frozen off" which makes me nervous because it is less than 1/8 of an inch from my eye. Very VERY close to the corner of my eye. And it is such a tiny area. To give you an idea: It is about the size the letter " t " on your screen. It is about the same color as my skin, just a little pinker and it is very slightly raised off my normal skin surface. If it wasn't painful I would have never noticed it at all.

Ahhhh. I guess my days of carelessly running around outside are over. Sunblock every day now. I know I should have been doing it the whole time. Here is the thing. When I was working outside everyday I was really good about using sunblock and wearing hats and long sleeves. In fact I had to FIGHT a hard BATTLE with the then Chief of my division to be able to wear broad rimmed hats and long sleeves in the summer time. I had to argue with him in his office and finally when I presented him with the Uniform Standards that clearly state that I was able to dress this way he finally relented. Asshole. But that is another story. I won the fight and was good about hiding from the sun. But when I am not planning on being outside everyday it is hard to remember to do the sunblock thing. If I am just running to the store. . . you get the point.

Plus I don't have a good skin care routine and remembering or wanting to put lotion on in the mornings is not going to happen.

My sister suggested I try the spray on sunscreen so that it is fast, clean and easy. That is what I am going to do. It sounds like something I could get on board with. Thank goodness my family member ordered me to get my butt to the dermatologist for an "all over check" because I would have put it off indefinitely. Nobody wants to get naked in front of a doctor.
