I...I am so sorry so hear about your health issues. I want to tell you that it is brave of you to talk about this and show the photos of your surgery aftermaths. Thank you for that - it is a real wake-up call for we fair-skinned types. I have not been as conscientious about sunblock as I should, but I promise I will faithfullly apply it from now on. (I have enough of a problem as is, but with my medication making me more sun-sensitive, it is a necessity.) I hope everything heals and your problems are over.The Calico Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772374749065425388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20271280.post-23696576491384163722008-08-02T12:54:00.000-07:002008-08-02T12:54:00.000-07:00My Fair Husband was married to a dark-skinned sun ...My Fair Husband was married to a dark-skinned sun worshipper. Now he has regular appointments with the dermatologist and standing orders to "just take off the top layers" (whatever the Medicare max is per treatment). It is never-ending.<BR/><BR/>Alarmingly, they took their tow-haired daughter on the houseboat, swimming pool, etc., and at age 27 she had a malignant melanoma removed--from her ribcage of all places, but they can even show up on the sole of the foot. (She became mine at age 13 and I begged her for years to stop trying to tan and to put on sunscreen.) Stay with it and stay on your girls. My own two listened to me and they have lovely skin.Jane Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837023618342835038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20271280.post-53830047435213177802008-07-31T16:20:00.000-07:002008-07-31T16:20:00.000-07:00Sounds like I should have been sending these groov...Sounds like I should have been sending these groovy new silicone dressings over that my daughter is using to mimimise her scarring.

Makes me think about using the sun screen a little more religiously. I dislike the oiliness and have ignored it for the past couple weeks. <BR/><BR/>Hope your healing will go well and you'll be well protected in the sun.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858446371419879296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20271280.post-84184910674865377532008-07-17T21:01:00.000-07:002008-07-17T21:01:00.000-07:00Whew!

I too am fair-skinned and blue-eyed, and I slathered on the baby oil--with Iodine, I don't know what that was about--so far no mysterious spots, but I have serious rosacea that will scare the knickers off you if you see me without makeup. I'm going in for laser treatments in the fall.

I usually wear Sun Precautions clothing when I plan on being out during the day plus the sunblock etc. I'm glad you took advantage of the free test and caught it early.

It feels scary that being aware of the ‘normal’ signs of possible cancer might not be enough.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for warning us!<BR/><BR/>Take care, I hope you’ll be able to enjoy future sunshine though. With a big hat on, long sleeves and pants and lots of sun-screen.<BR/><BR/>In Holland we have had an experiment some years ago which was called the freckle-buss.
