I had a large skin cancer removed from behind my ear a couple years ago. I don't sunbathe and have very very thick hair that would have blocked lethal sun rays, even if I did. Consequently, I don't use sun block there. I used to color my hair, years ago but gave it up. The doctor could not give me any good reason why I may have developed this cancer. And it scares me to think that ...

I would say its definitely possible and when the topic is cancer, I would say take it very seriously until it is completely ruled out. Much easier to stop it when it's early than to fight it when it is more developed. It is definitely plausible, although rare for a child to develop skin cancer. I had a fairly severe case of melanoma when I was 12 and pulled through it after ~1.5-2 years of ...

It is my understanding that when caught early, it is one of the easiest cancers to cure, but when it is caught late it is one of the hardest cancers to cure. So, my advice is to see a doctor when/if you see ...
