I have had precancerous lesions myself. Partly due to my fair skin, and also due to past summers as a camp counselor (pre-sunscreen days) where we all would actually get red (and I mean red) sunburns on our noses and we didn't really think anything of it.

I hate the heat, and have avoided the sun ever since, but those few years back in college really did some damage. Last month I had 7 spots "frozen" on my face (thank goodness for make-up!). Just beware of any rough, sandpaper-like spots that don't go away, especially on your face.
