Sadly, I have checked and there are tanning beds in my area. Ugh!

No, I have never been told that. It doesn’t do much good to go backwards—only move forwards. I’ve been told very limited sun exposure now, which is fine. I have accepted that.

What about being asked about family history of skin cancer? That plays a role as well.

...very true! I was asked about that at my first visit with my dermatologist. April, SkinCancer.net, Moderator
