As I have gotten older and moved to a very sunny place, I have been getting more careful about seeing a dermatologist and getting a check for any signs of skin cancer. I did it again this week and had a little mole cut out and sent out for testing. I'm have now had three excisions for tests: one each on my ear, chest and back. So far, so good.
If you have any moles or freckles, you should always keep an eye on them. Better yet, have a professional look you over every year or two. Skin cancer sucks. Here is a nice overview.

Having fair skin and numerous freckles (and age spots), I make it a point to do the dermatologist visit each year (and sometimes in-between visits if something comes up. She usually finds something that needs attention, but catching things early has been good so far. I'm glad you are taking care of this, too.
