It caught up with me. For about 2 months I’ve had itchy, scaly, red, bumpy nose. Oh oh. Finally went to a Derm PA today and have pre cancerous stuff in my nose. She sprayed heavy doses of freezing spray until she was satisfied. The next couple weeks the skin will peel off and new fresh, hopefully clean, will grow in its place. She will check in 2 months to confirm. Fingers crossed.

I’m writing this for you guys out there who, like me, may be too much in a hurry or don’t care to put on skin care SPF sunscreen. I hope to be better now after this scare.

Big FYI!
Ditch the ball cap and get something that shades your ears. Actinic Keratosis on the top of an ear is really annoying.
