Need to see Derm: Since there was a previous solar keratosis there it need to be checked. These are actinic keratoses and they are precancers. Dermatology needs to check this to rule out skin cancer.

Solar Keratosis: A solar keratosis is a small, thickened, scaly growth which develops on the skin. It is the most common skin condition resulting from sun-damaged skin. It is caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun over many years. Solar keratoses are also known as actinic keratoses.http://patient.info/health/solar-keratosis
