Had the scalp and my forearm frozen a number of times. Today was a 6 month checkup and all clear, but I have a harmless thing growing bullseye on my forehead that makes me think of the Austin Powers/Fred Savage scene everytime I look in the mirror. Zap!
Dang, it already itches.

2019 I got the freezes, then the little cuts, then the big skin graft. Didn't go back all 2020 due to covid but have little doubt that she is not through with redecorating my lovely bald head. I've now got a cyclops on the back side of my head. I'm just glad that I can't see it in the mirror (unless I turn around) so I tend to forget about it.

Consider yourself lucky that a hat covers it up  |

I'm coming up on 2 years since I had a sizeable chunk of my right temple torn out cuz of Melanoma. It'll be nice getting back to yearly screenings.

I do the freeze thing once a year, am about due.
I had white hair as a kid, in a crew cut. Every summertime photo of me shows me with a sunburn. I'm paying the price now.

My GP zaps me with the freeze can now and then. Feels like little tiny needles!

I had some things frozen off the side of my face a couple of years ago. I was told I spent too much time out in the sun as a child. As I was called into the office, I met a friend of mine coming out.
When I saw my friend a few days later, he told me that he as told that he had spent too much time in the sun as a child.
I'm wondering if all dermatologists were told to tell their patients they had spent too much time in the sun as a child.
No video games in the 1950s. I did get my vitamin D in something other than pill form.
I few years before that my wife's doctor told her she needed to lose 15 pounds. About the same time, my doctor (a different doctor) told me the same thing. I wondered then if all doctors were told to tell their patients to lose 15 pounds.

It's a crazy thing but for purportedly being a more rare form of skin cancer both my wife and I, 2 brothers in law and my daughter in law have all had melanoma.

Never any cancer stuff, but I had a plantar wart they used to use that spray on. It wasn’t fun on the tough skin of my feet, so it has to suck on your face.

My last trip to the dermatologist ended up requiring copious amounts of the fluorouracil cream. I had too much to freeze off.

I have had two Moh's Procedures so I am happy to get out of the Dermatologist's Office with only liquid nitrogen being used on my tired old skin.
