You should get this advice from your dermatologist who knows your situation the best. Avoiding sun exposure as much as possible will be an important part of your strategy to avoid skin cancer in the future. A dermatologist will be able to counsel you on what sun exposure will be acceptable for you, depending on your exact skin situation. So, see a dermatologist for guidance. Good luck!
