Note to self, wax and feathers make poor sunscreen.

Surely you mean XXX rated movies. Maybe XX are just lame and B-class XXX movies, then I am sure wax and feathers will be in "XX" category. — Oleg "I am not judging"

I suspect the difference ‘tween XX and XXX is that the former uses feathers while the latter employs live fowl. Oleg "I am not judging"

I’m a great guy, just ask Oleg later. :) I really am a great guy unless you try to piss on me, then I piss back. I’m glad you’re okay. Thanks, to you and everyone else who has written. Really.

Indy, I’m glad to hear it is good news. My doctor’s visit included checking the moles and spots on my back. Still no change, so I’m hanging in there. And I’ll vouch for you too. You’re a good guy, opinionated and strong willed, but really a good guy. Bev, One problem is that there can be a very long term incubation for cancer. I expect if I get skin cancer, it would due to the summer days I spent as a kid. If it could be traced to one event, it might be the trip to Cooney Island and the terrible sunburn my brother, my sister and I sufferred. Nobody used sunscreen then. But I use it now. So remember to use sunscreen now, or suffer later. — Ed Prochak Magic Interface, Ltd. ORACLE Development, conversions, training and support Before you buy.

BTW, for the skiers out there—-you can get a nasty sunburn in Colorado in the middle of winter.
Colorado is too near the sun. Did not Icarius’s son prove that too near the sun is bad? Palmer

Basal? Glad to hear all is well. Also watch out for moles that grow.

They feel it was all removed during the procedure but need to watch carefully in the future. Just a warning to all if any spots, moles or blisters pop up to get it checked right away.

Close call… BTW, partly as a result of your orig. post, I will be getting checked out next week. For other runners wondering: There are many types of skin irregularities that need to be checked / removed. Not all are cancerous, but some can lead to it. Glad to hear the ‘good’ news. — … tramps like us, Before you buy.

I don’t want to sound flippant. Believe me, I am pale and frightened of skin cancer and Indy, I’m glad you’re okay. But someone has to say it: Use sunscreen. Skin cancer is not something to be taken lightly, obviously. I wish I could take back all those days of my youth spent actually out there getting radiation burns *on* *purpose!* And here we are. Running. Outdoors, mainly and we all need to slop on the sun sauce or wear protective clothing. You guys (Indy?) who run shirtless in the summer (or, you know, in the winter as well) — do you put on sunscreen? Do it! Even my swarthy Sicilian husband uses SPF 30. Pale is in, baby!

However, sunscreen may not be the savior. Australia has been campaigning to increase sunscreen use for several years and the skin rate has been increasing. Some of this may be (please add thoughts):
I don’t know the specifics of the Australian campaign. I have heard about it, though and I think it has won praise from dermatologists. increased reporting or people checking things out faster increased sun bathing or outside time since they think that wearing sunscreen gives them ample protection (I call this the Colorado 4×4 effect)
I think that people still feel like there is such thing as a "healthy" tan. Tanning is your skin’s reaction to damage. A tan is a radiation burn. I also think folks simply ignore the warnings or rationalize a tan by clinging to the myth that once you are tanned you can’t burn. And then some further rationalize that their tan comes from the electric sun (tanning beds) and there is still the myth that these are somehow healthier than the sun. Again, tanning is your skin’s reaction to *injury.* I’m a little evangelical about this. I’m fair skinned, just *this* far from being a red head (my "during" photo on my web site shows blonde — that’s from a bottle!) and I’ve been teased even in my adult life about not tanning. I did a stint in my late 20s at the tanning salons. I started to look older, I got some mysterious blotches and I read enough from skin cancer specialists that I decided to just forget it. At the time, I had a friend in her 50s who tanned regularly. Frankly, I have a pair of brown leather shoes on right now that look better than she did. I am reminded of the woman that lived next door to Mary in "Something About Mary." Yeah. I wanna look like *that.* Not Cameron Diaz, the other one….ohhhhhh yeah. Now, I slop on the sun sauce when I’m out in peak hours, I run after 5:00 p.m., so I don’t get a whole lot of damage then and I’ve learned to love hats and white long sleeved shirts. Fortunately, the pale goth look is in. (Now all I need to do is get down to 100 lbs and I’ll be a Hollywood star!) BTW, for the skiers out there—-you can get a nasty sunburn in Colorado in the middle of winter.
Another thing I think people rationalize. You *can* get burned when it’s cloudy and you *can* get burned in the winter. I think you get a nastier burn in higher elevations. — Beverly Brandt A visual cacophony of broken links, bad scans and poor writing: http://bevbrandt.home.mindspring.com/ bev brandt at mindspring dot com Before you buy.

When I was younger I used to think "easy tan"- just run shirtless. An hour a day is not enough to get burned, but enough to stay dark much of the year. But you pay for it later as your skin resembles that of a lizard in your 40s. However, many young people still go for the tan. Before you buy.
