Sun exposure is very serious, thats why we should fish at night. All kidding aside. In my early 20's I ran a Charter Boat operation on Lake Ontario. Sun exposure was intense being on the water daily guiding. I had the same thing, small scab on the face that would not heal. After some time I had it checked and was found to have melanoma. After a intense series of radiation treatments and finally surgury to remove it, it was gone. When a doctors sits you down in your early 20's and gives you survival %'s and other grim facts, it puts things into perspective. Be careful with the sun!

After having a grade 2 melanoma removed from my nose, my dermatologist gave me a sample of Neutrogena SPF 45 Sunblock with Parsol 1789. He said the Parsol is the key......and I slather it on, believe me.
