Factor 50 suncream in the 50s/60s then I would not have all this palaver with Basal Cell carcinomas (Rodent ulcers). |

Oh, if only I'd realised years ago the damage the sun does to your skin (and it's irreversible). Apart from the risks of carcinomas it's also the way it ages your skin that's bad. |

My Mother was abaout 34 when we came to Australia. Her childhood & teen years were not spent sunbathing (in Scotland?!), and she didn't lie out in the sun in Australia. |

OH had to see a dermatologist 3 weeks ago - he had an odd 'blister' type thing on his bald pate. |

As most know we go to Tenerife for 4 weeks at a time. I always put on factor 50 then 30 later. I am very brown but have not been burnt for many years. But when a child and teenager I can remember being burnt, we lived near the sea and were always on the beach. When I was pregnant I got my legs very burnt, they blistered from just an hour on the beach. I have had 2 basal cell carcinomas removed from one thigh (small ones, one by cutting out, one with cream). |

Also, be careful with what clothes you wear. You can still burn through some fabrics. OH was out one very hot morning wearing a very thin, loosely woven, cotton shirt. His chest was red within half an hour (he is the red haired, pale skin type). |

And wear a hat. It amazes me when in Tenerife and Lanzarote the number of families I see where none of them have hats on, not even the children. |

I must admit I never wear a hat, but when on holiday little man knows no hat no going out, I'm not as strict over here as he had never burnt as I keep him creamed n hydrated |

In my post above I should have said, on the beach. Does his school make them wear hats when they go out into the play area in the sun? |

I only go for ten minutes without suncream, and always wear a hat in very hot sun as my hair is thin and I don't want my scalp burned. O.h. is pretty bald (well it's not pretty lol) but is a devil for refusing to wear a sun hat so his head is like a bit of old leather. He did have one small mole cut out so should know better. |
