I have been a SoCal, work and play outdoors guy my entire life. My dad (genetics) had some melanoma. I go every 6 months religiously for the last decade or two. Almost every time I get 1-4 things frozen off with the carbon dioxide oil can.
Over my lifetime, I've had them cut off, cut out, burnt, frozen, electricity-removed, and every other which way. I even had a basal cell MOHS'd off from the crease of my eye socket along my nose back in 2000.
I still don't apply sunscreen on the daily, but if I'm going to be out working or playing in the sun all day, or boating, jet skiing, or lake floating, I will apply it to my face and hands, but I wear a big floppy jungle hat, good quality sunglasses (Oakley), and an SPF water shirt (long-sleeved).
