Thanks for your reply.
The doctor said that it started when I was young. I grew up in Jax, Florida. No shirt, no shoes, etc. Typical southern boy. Used baby oil for suntan lotion. Starting in the 60s I started wearing a ball cap full time. I am now in my 60s. And it is catching up. I will have to start wearing the sunscreen and stand in the shade more often.
