I feel his pain… As I sit here with a large dressing on my face this morning
.
In spite of constant use of sunscreen, especially on my face before I leave tne house…
A routine visit to tne dermatologist exposed a small squamous cell carcinoma.
I realise tnat although I was always diligent, I did not see all the dangers.
for instance.. about our faces( and head).. when we get in the water, there is a reflection from the water. Plus... Sunscreen washes off after a time.
So, wear a hat, reapply sunscreen often.
and read your sunscreen tube!
I watch people using spray sun screen while standing near the pool.., they should apply it indoors. Not out in the open where you can watch it flying through the air, coating the pool, the chairs.. and only depositing a patchy amount on their body.
I watch people applying all types of sunscreen and within 2 minutes they get into the water!
read the labels.. see how long the manufacturer says to apply it BEFORE getting into the water
as I was sat there getting the Mohs digging done.. I did tell my surgeon that if he left me with a big scar..I was returning for a face lift.. I figured that he could yank that sucker back behind my left ear!
