I am fair with green eyes. When I was a kid, there was no sunblock yet.
I have had 4 biopsies this month; all squamous cell carcinoma. Now scheduling for in office removal.
So curious. Am I the only
one.?

Yes you are indeed more susceptible to it. I have recently had my ear lobe removed. I am supposed to completely cover up not only when it's sunny, in the rain as well ! Who on earth does that ? I decided to cut to the chase and buy a bee keepers suit 😁

Phil, clever of you to go with the suit, should resolve the issue of bee-induced pd, although surely there have been prior academic studies of the subject (taxpayer-funded)........ 😁

People with PD have to be extra careful since they are more prone to skin cancer. Hope your journey gets better.
