Risk of cancer: You are at higher than normal risk for cancer at another site. It would be prudent to see your doctor to have a thorough skin examination and may be pictures of suspicious areas so that these may be monitored. You may consult this site for more info. http://www.cancer.gov/types/skin/hp/skin-treatment-pdq
