You're a young looking guy, Marty! And the rest of the skin on your face looks healthy, not damaged. I'm a pale, blue eyed guy, (had freckles when younger), like most of us here, I spent was too much time in the sun when younger. For many years now, however, I try to avoid too much direct sunlight on my skin because the sun is very powerful here in SoCal and I can't take it anymore.
I've had about a thousand pre-cancerous spots frozen off in the last 40 years but no real skin cancer yet. It's coming, I'm 100% sure, unless I die soon. When I switched dermatologists a few years back because my old one retired, they asked me if there was any history of skin cancer in my family. I think that I blurted out, "are you ****ing kidding me?" We are Irish people from a land where it rains half the year and my parents were sun worshippers before the dangers were fully understood. Tons of skin cancer, just fortunately not melanoma, (which is of course survivable if caught in time).
Best of luck and that scar will disappear fast, it already looks pretty healed.
