weathafella Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I had a squamous cell carcinoma on the top of my head removed in December 2014. I was at a meeting in DC and this prominent dermatologist I’m friends with and I were walking to dinner. He’s done tons of research and one thing stuck. He said if I get it again it’s probably a death sentence. I don’t go to the beach before 4-5pm and never without a hat and plenty of sun block. I remove my shirt if I swim but otherwise cover. You learn the hard way sometimes. I was throw caution to the wind before the MOHS procedure. Thankfully they got it all with clear margins the first cut. Be careful! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does feel noticeably less humid, though still summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Some sun is good. Too much is bad. Obviously if you’re pastey white your genes are inherited from ancestors that evolved to not need much sun. The less melanin in your skin, the faster you can make vitamin D from minimal UV exposure. Of course that also means less protection from the sun. I can burn pretty quickly early in the season so I have to limit myself until my body adjusts and at least tries to produce a little melanin in my skin. A lot of research has shown that the UVA is the nasty wavelength of UV wrt cancers even though it doesn’t produce much of a burn. A lot of truck drivers deal with skin cancers on their left arms or left side of their face eventually in life since the glass of their windows blocks the UVB but not the UVA. So even though the UVB will cause you the most pain with surface burns, the UVA goes deeper into your skin. Also, getting some infrared light before being out in the sun can help minimize burning later in the day. Very early sun has a higher IR:UV ratio so getting some at 8am can prime you to handle the midday UV a bit better. There’s IR saunas available in some areas too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have very low variance. Like BDL and ORH are +3.0 or a bit above... PVD is a full degree below that or more. June was +1.9 and July is +1.6 so far. If that is top 10, maybe its a short period of record? Or do they really not have that much variance from summer to summer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my best friends from high school had his father pass away from skin cancer due to sunburns he would get when he was growing up. 14 years ago my wife, a 2nd generation Norwegian American with typical Nordic complexion, visited her sister on Oahu in early June, when the noonday sun is nearly straight up. Only 30 midday minutes and she had sun poisoning enough to be nauseated and had to stay inside for 2 days. At the ER that afternoon, the DR, a typical Hawaiian, said that she had drastically increased her chances for future skin cancer, saying that his brown skin was meant for sun but her paleness definitely was not. So far so good, and since we had our 49th anniversary last month, she/we aren't exactly young. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
