That was my first experience of skin cancer. Foolishly ignored it for almost a year and ended up losing the top 10% of my ear. Now auditioning for the next Hobbit movie.
I now always wear a peaked white hat that covers ears and back of neck, with sunscreen on the nose and other exposed facial areas.
Be aware, though, that a lot of the damage is already done (from earlier "ignorance") so, whatever precautions you take now, you may still suffer from skin cancer making an appearance as you age.
