OMG! It's possible to overdo the mask thing.

14. Don't apologize, I agree w/ you, that if we help someone else in the DU world learn about

these skin ailments/cancers/etc., then perhaps we helped someone else too.

Sounds like you are doing the things that one must do, to avoid future cases of these lesions (avoiding the sun etc.), my skin has always been an issue (fair skinned) so I avoid the sun religiously and it's has worked. In the years since my aggressive attempts to moderate my sun exposure (to zero), I've had no issues thus far, after so many (perhaps 10 lesions) in my younger days. My mom was the starting point, she seemed like she was getting zapped every six months or so, and I was glad she was very aggressive in watching herself for problem skin areas.
