I'm 31 yrs. old, and 3 yrs. ago a small black dot started growing in below my left eye, after about a year it had grown from about .5mm to about 4 mm, went to the doctor and he told me it was definately skin cancer, he removed it and it was confirmed by the following tests.
The doctor said that as a helicopter pilot I would be at high risk especially at the time that I was flying about 6 or 7 hrs a day. here in very sunny Mexico.
From now on I always wear 60SPF sunblock if I am going to be out there a while.
