Lisa, after many years of sun exposure living in Arizona and Hawaii, I get yearly head to toe skin checkups by my dermatologist. He found the suspicious spot on my chest which I didn't even notice; removed it, and now you can't even see where it was.

Several years ago my husband had a basal cell spot on the top of his ear too, which looked like a tiny blister. He had the MOHS procedure, and his ear looked perfectly normal after, with no further problems.

I'm sure you're going to be fine. Basal cell carcinoma is very easily treatable, and I'm glad it isn't melanoma which can be more serious as it travels.

Hugs to you.
