Actinic keratosis: Many years of sun exposure increase your risk of skin cancer. This sounds like an actinic keratosis or a keratoacanthoma. This needs to be checked out and treated as are pre-cancerous lesions.

Need to examine: Change in a mole needs to be evaluated and may require removal examination of the tissue by a pathologist.
