Bob, Thanks for posting this, it's a public service announcement. My Dad has had a few of these removed, I'm just waiting for that shoe to drop for me. I try to avoid too much sun as an adult, (I'm a blue-eyed Irish/pale as they come), but when I was younger I couldn't get enough. Plus I've worked outdoors a lot, as I know that you have.
You look like you are blessed w/ good quality skin in general, (it can vary quite a bit on us humans), so the scar should not be overly noticable. Good luck and see you soon, I hope.
