I've had 5 golf years off, and I think they came right when my SKIN needed it. The tops of my ears were getting REALLY suspect. Kinda "sticky" to the touch. Really gross. I have had things looked at, but all OK. Brown Recluse Spider bit me on a finger that was in a yard glove for one trip, and 37 bouts of what I think is shingles that they cannot figure out for about 7 yrs now. So they throw in the free cancer check every time.I've become really habitual about the sunscreen, hat and subglasses. Had my anual checkup at the dermatologist last week, and she said to keep it up, because she had less stuff to freeze this time around.
My skin is a mess. I had a gang of spiders attack the tops of my feet/ankles/legs when cleaning out the family house. My feet are so scarred from all those spider bites, I look like a leper on my feet and legs. I think I may have psoriasis as well from my chemo I was on for 6 years. Immune system attacks the skin.
We also had a swimming pool in the 80's. I did use a LOT of mineral-based sunscreen when playing golf. I would have melted out there with my blue eyes.
