A member asked:

What are my chances of developing skin cancer if i had 2 premelanoma and 10 clarks moles? fair skin, green eyes, no family history of cancer.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

High: You'll do well to use a good sunscreen, and especially to continue to keep an eye on your skin. You've got a reasonable chance of getting a malignant melanoma one of these days, but if you've kept up proper surveillance and spot and remote it in time, you will probably save your life by doing so.
