Neal,
Here’s hoping you got it all and have a full and speedy recovery.  The dermatologist is my new best friend, pay attention and catch it early.

Ralph,
I had that treatment done about a year ago and it was a complete success. The combo of the cream and blue light zaps those pre cancerous cells and you shed the dead skin cells.  It’s a bit uncomfortable for a few days but not painful.  It’s very much like a bad sunburn, I’m not sure what the irony is here.  You’ll have reddened skin and peel for a few days then be good as new and look younger to.

Good luck to all, take precautions and check for oddities frequently.

Thanks Neal.

I was glad to get out of there.

The nurse would deaden my nose. Doc would come in and cut. Nurse would cauterize and bandage. I’d go sit in the waiting room for 30 minutes while Doc did the microscope thing and most likely visited other patients.

Back into the exmaining room and repeat above procedure.

We did this three times. He finally decided he had gotten it all. The best part….I scored a half dozen 500 mg Lortabs for my troubles. I am feeling NO pain. 🙂

Thanks for the well-wishes.

Damn brother…
And to think…im the idiot that asked why fly fisherman cover up like terrorists…Maybe its because they (not including me) are smarter than the average outdoorsmen.

Thanks Joe. The Doc says this damage was done 20 years ago and is just now showing up.

Ya’ll cover up.

After 6 removals now, I’m amassing a pretty significant collection of Buffs, Tilleys, and Boonie hats.
