What Causes A Patch Of Scaly Skin On My Nose?

I have a patch of scaly skin on the side of my nose. My great aunt had cancer back in the 50 s in the same area. My uncle has it but it has not been diagnosed as cancer. My sister has just been diagnosed with cancer in the same area. Should I be concerned?
