Sounds like the stuff I was prescribed to put on my face made in Israel. this morning when I took my first shower after stopping putting that stuff on my face, it burned unbelievably bad when the soap and water hit my face. Scrubbing with a soapy wash cloth was bad. Had to pat my face dry because hurt too much to wipe. After I got dry I put a thin film of Vaseline over my face and the burning has subsided. Hope I don't have scars like you described, I don't want any thing to mar my hansom looking face, LMAO!

When I was young, a good tan was considered by most of us to be "healthy". Like so many others, I used to lay there in the sun every spring, probably sizzling like a slice of bacon. I have red hair and fair skin, so I burn easily. The thinking was that a good tan would give me some protection from burning during the summer. It didn't really work. To make matters worse, just about all of my recreation has been outside, usually on or near water where the reflection increases your UV exposure.

Now in my 70's, I see the dermatologist every 6 months for a skin survey. All my freckles, moles and scars offer a camouflage for skin problems, so I need a professional to check me over. Three times so far, I've had Basal cell carcinomas taken off. That's the least worrisome of the three main kinds of skin cancer. At every visit, I have keratoses that have to be frozen. By evening, I always look like someone has beaten the crap out of me.

One thing to consider is that if you ever have a melanoma, that's the T-REX of skin cancers. When they remove that, they cut deep and wide. Because it's so dangerous they want generous 'clear margins' around the problem. That means that you're gonna have a biga$$ scar, or skin grafts. And that's the best-case scenario.

I have an urgent request of all fellow stagers. My youngest sister, Deb, is extremely sick and has been in the hospital since Friday. She has had COPD for quite some time, many times requiring hospitalization, but this time she also has pneumonia. She had a high fever on Saturday, which they were finally able to get down with meds and ice packs, but last night it spiked to 105* and things are not looking good at all. We aren’t able to go see her because they said she is contagious. She has become too weak to even talk or text now.
Please help me and the rest of my siblings pray for Deb. She is a Christian, but is still afraid her life is about over. She is only 63 years old.
Thank y’all for your thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏻Randy
