I Was Worried About My Health in Thailand

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.พ. 2024
- In today's video, I'm talking about the true dangers of the sun while living my best life in Thailand. Coming from the UK, where the sun plays hide and seek, I never really considered the impact of those powerful rays on my skin.
Over time, I've learned the hard way about the not-so-cool side effects of soaking up too much sun, including potential health issues with my skin.
If you're a fellow Brit or just someone new to the sun-soaked lifestyle, this video is your wake-up call to the importance of sun protection. Let's keep it chill, laid-back, and most importantly, let's stay sun-safe together!

I walk heaps too Wayne - approx 2 hours every day and I use 50 plus screen and never take off the cap for extended periods either having a dome unprotected by a mop of hair myself. Nice video mate. 🤩
I wish I still had mop on my dome mate. Yes mate, it's just about being a little more careful with the length of time I'm out and using sunscreen more. I'll still be out walking but making sure I take a bit more care. Cheers mate.
yup, us brits tend to OD on Sunshine when we go abroad... we just not used to it here in UK so when we go to hot countries we tend to OD a bit which can cause alot of health issues... like any climate... need to take it easy and adjust slowly!!
Yes mate, you can always find the brits on the beach or near the pool all day long 🤣. That's right, I'll still be out in the sun, just being bit more wise.
Thumbs up 👍 Wayne….that sun is no joke it’s hot as heck here in Phuket 😎
Cheers mate! Getting really hot up here now 🔥
Glad all good, Wayne! I laughed when you said about the long 2 week wait… around where I am in Toronto it’s over a year to a see a Dermatologist. Usually at least 5 months for any specialist. Another reason Thailand is the place to be!
For sure mate, 1 week is long in Thailand. It's a lot shorter than thank back home though. As you mentioned, it takes months to do anything in the west. Cheers mate.
Wishing you the best of health Wayne. 👍🏼
Cheers Kashif , I'm all good buddy 👍
Hi Wayne glad you had a all clear from the dr ,👌
Cheers mate, I'm all good 👍
Great service announcement video Wayne. I'm 60 years young and was firstly misdiagnosed with stage 3 very rare form melanoma two years ago . Four months later correctly diagnosed and three operations later, cancer has been downgraded. Travelled to Thailand to celebrate life and must be the only farang to leave Thailand without a tan. 😅. That after 3 months and 5500 km of scooter travelling . Constantly wear broadbrim hat, good peak hat under helmet, long sleeve UV shirt, UV long pants and limit sun exposure. These are very light and very cool. A must have. You can still live a full life, you just need to take sensible precautions. On way to another two months of Chiang Mai in the next few weeks. 😄
Hi Michael, thanks for sharing this mate and hope all is ok with you now. I think you described what everyone should do here. I must admit I do cover up a lot when I'm on the bike trips. Thanks mate, see you around Chiang Mai.
Thank i am mixed race and don't suffer to much from sunburn, i don't teally sunbathe or go out to much in the hottest part of the day especially when I'm in Thailand, so glad you are OK take ir easy Wayne
Thanks Leila, I'm all good thanks!
Good topic Wayne, Glad all is well. You might want to research more natural remedies like Castor oil and even Oregano.
Wife and I will be in Chiangmai Mai next month. We’ll keep a look out for you.
Walk good!
Blessings to you🙏🏽
Nice one mate, hope to see you around 👌
Being 64...grew up London then came the summer 76...then moved to the USA basically we ran around "naked" not literally, hours no sun protection, laying out baking in St Tropez tan sun lotion aka cooking oil. 30 years of sun damage later - hey ho! Having had some things lopped off skin damage and now living in Oz let's say its a constant worry. Hate to think what my back looks like...sun damage is scary - ex MIL had a small brown spot on her ankle she was an active woman it was a malignant melanoma lost 2/3s of her leg. Wayne brilliant video - straight on point and something I wish I'd managed better decades ago. Be forewarned...hell if there was 75 block I'd wear it! Glad you're okay!
Hey Steven, thanks for sharing mate, I remember as a kid all the familys on my estate would sun bath in that cooking oil style lotion, crazy when you think about it. Scary stuff about the woman! I wish they did do a 100 block. Thanks buddy.
@@WalkAboutWayneBrits and sun - basically rock lobsters in the making.
The goal was who could get brownest...how stupid we were..black roofs anywhere we could cook. Oh well it was fun back then...life was decidedly different...funner and more liberal easy going in the 60s, 70s and 80s...wouldn't change it for the world. Living in Oz you can get burnt through your clothes...it's scary..even in winter sunblock...
Glad it’s nothing! I’m only 55 and I had a prostate cancer diagnosis 4 years ago. Very scary but I was lucky I go to the dr. often and they caught it early. After treatment (which really wasn’t bad at all), I’m 3 years cancer free. Great video Wayne! Sunscreen everyday and a hat! I’ve lived in Los Angeles my whole life and sunscreen is a must. Take it easy man, take it easy!
Cheers Dean! I'm glad everything is ok with you now buddy, great news that your free from the big C. Yes, I'll be wearing sunscreen more and more now. Thanks,
One cause of prostate cancer is the lack of proper sunlight. Sunscreen will make you worse. I treated serious illnesses and have far more experience than I can tell you. Cancer is systemic, not local.
Good work Wayne keeping on top of this , Melanoma is a huge problem in Australia ,
Looking after our health especially when we are travelling or abroad is paramount - glad all is well , a great reminder for us all ✔️😎👌👋🙏👍
All is well Ant, cheers mate 👍
Wow, weather looks GORGEOUS this time of year.
Winter in Chiang Mai is great. Hot and low humidity in the daytime, cool but not cold at night.
The weather is good and it's starting to get hot. But smokey though 👍
I know, I been there last January. Wouldn't mind spending 2-3 months of the year there in the future.@@ubiquitousdiabolus
Thanks for sharing! It is a very important topic in the tropics in general for most expats. Glad you are okay. I learned the hard way to cover my self when I was 22 years young and got work on a commercial tank ship that went world wide. All it took, was less than 2 hours on deck without cover my upper body or head. And I was in my mid 30's before the white spots from the blemishes I got on my back and neck disappeared from that brutal sun burn. So I wear a cap/hat, long sleeve shirt and long pants for the most part when I visit Thailand. When I retire there, I have to be even more careful. Coz I don't want to get skin cancer.
Thanks for sharing this, like you said it can creep up on you years later. I've got one sun spot and one white one now, probably more will develop. Cheers.
I have sunspots on my right hand but not on my left. Because of the golf glove. So it doesn't take much. Also, Kev of Thailand was a example of needing to see the Dr. early. And still some vloggerrs going hatless while complaining about the terrible hot sun. Anyway, your blog today may have helped a few people. Thanks.
Yes it doesn't take much, I have 2 now and some dark freckles. It was sad to see Kev suffer. I'm not sure his was skin though? but I could be wrong. Not just vloggers, the hundreds and thousands of others too.
Kev had throat cancer. . But didn't check it early enough, I think.
Dude! I've had the dermatologist on my mind for about 3 months now 🤦🤣. Thank you so much, this was actually very very useful to me!
No worries Kev, it was on my mind for a while, glad I went to see her.
Hi Wayne I usually come to Thailand few months in the winter
I always develop some coughing and fever I was thinking it's the aircon
This year in 1 month 2 times sick already though second time fever only one day 1st time I was knocked off for 3 days
Hi George, I've had a few people mention the same about getting sick when arriving in Thailand. The aircon can be nasty. Sorry to hear you got sick again, hopefully you will adapt to it, but one month should be plenty of time. Hope you get better mate.
@@WalkAboutWayne Thanks yes it's about adaptation probably must be some bacterias populating the aircon filters then the air recirculates through that I doubt they change filters often
Have to get my immunity up get my healthy routines here
Btw talking about routines maybe can be nice to make a video "A day in the life of Wayne" where you go through your day what you eat if you go to the gym meet friends etc
I think its also a good idea to limit sun exposure to early morning late afternoon, the rest find a nice shady spot...by the way Bill over at Unseen Thailand Chiang Mai swears by Sriphat hospital/clinic, as good as Ram but much cheaper. cheers
Yes, that's the wise thing to do, like the Thais, early morning and evening. Here's me doing midday walks haha. Sriphat Hospital is good, I go there a lot. The day clinic is not as high class doctors, mainly trainees but much cheaper and perfect for small problems. . Cheers.
Actually it's next door at Maharaj with the trainees. Both great options though.
Good subject and reminder! Better be careful. Our dear relative had a tatoo .. 40 years later slowly slowly it became hepatit c and liver cancer😔 so sad. Where are you walking?, looks so nice.
Wow! I didn't realise that could happen from a Tattoo. 😞 I'm in one of the local parks. Thanks.
Im a 31 year old Aussie bloke and unfortunately ive had two skin cancers. I now get a specialist look over me every 12 months and use sun protection everytime I go outside. The UV is no joke.
Thanks for sharing, I hope things are ok for you now mate.
Nothing is a Joke......eat Natto for heart Issues 😂😂😂😂😂.
Just got back from Pattaya and I got sooooooooo sick. Stomach issues turned into extreme dehydration. The day i got home i took a bong hit and boom my blood pressure went soaring and I called 911. Spent that afternoon in the E R getting rehydrated . I believe I had a panic attack because of the new medication i have to take. Anxiety and sweating all night for the last week....Hope it ends soon !!!!!!!!
Sorry to hear that, hope you get better soon 🙏
I'm 66 and I've had both Basal and Squamous cell carcinomas. The Basal comes quite often, and I routinely visit my dermatologist, once or twice a year, and the patches are frozen off with spray. It isn't dangerous really. My patches are usually scales like a wart looking thing. The Squamous though is more serious. Again, it isn't deadly but surgery is necessary to remove the cells. Part of the top of my left ear was removed. I grew up on the beach, in the sun, and live outdoors. I try to cover everything as possible now. The sun isn't my friend.
Wow thanks for sharing that mate, i'm glad it wasn't to bad and you got it sorted. It's no joke, that's for sure. Thanks.
Hey Wayne . I’ve seen that doctor couple times at Ram hospital . Froze a couple spots off but also removed a basil cell pre cancer spot . She’s very good educated in Boston . Thanks for letting me know about her own clinic. I will look her up . I cycle everyday and cover up and put 50spf on before going out . Thanks for making the video
Yes, she's a very good dermatologist mate. She goes to her clinic at 5pm, after Ram Hours. Little bit cheaper at the clinic. Hope your spot is ok now .
Cheers mate
Thank you All good ! But as you say as fair skinned folks and getting older best to keep covered up and use spf protection because I love cycling and outdoor activities in spite of smoky air that’s coming
I’m ethnically Chinese and quite dark. After riding around a week in Chiangmai I was surprised to find I was peeling and sunburnt. I have rarely ever got sunburnt living in Los Angeles. Just 20 mins in the Thai sun was enough to cook my skin even with sunscreen. Now I wear long sleeves like the Thais.
Yes, it's a different kind of sun in Thailand (if that makes sense) I burn differently here than I would in the summer back home. Thanks.
I have the white patches but the doctor said they were harmless good video mate I never in the sun there for that long
Cheers Dave! Yes, the white patches are fine, just age spots. I'll be taking a bit more care now and not being out in the sun all day.
Yeah, to be honest it's the one main issue that would put me off moving to Thailand or SE Asia. I'm from UK and super fair skinned. I burn like hell in 10 seconds flat and look like a roast Lobster for at least a week. I also sweat like a nervous pig in humid places and need to constantly chug a ton of water. I'd give it a go, but whenever I'm in super hot climates I crave a cold place after a week or two. Those climates knock me out.
I hear you mate, I was the same when I first came here. I never thought I could live in a climate like this. You do adapt to it, but it does get tough. This time of year coming now is brutal. Sometimes I miss wearing winter clothes.
Hi Wayne, I avoid it when in Thailand 🇹🇭 I don’t get lying in it just uncomfortable. Thais like pale skin in any case. As you get older you start noticing lots of things with age. Diet, aches, pains. People feel a pressure to come home from Holiday with a tan like that’s the measure of a good time.
I could never lay in the sun aswell, my skin wouldn't let me either. That's correct, western people are all about tans and the whole holiday is about getting a tan to show people back home. Sad really. I must admit, I don't like being ghost white, but it's all about just getting enough sun. Thanks.
So many things can kill us, I smoke 60 cigarettes a day and I`m 64 now but I could be run over by a bus tomorrow. Live life as you want to live and enjoy or live scared and worry either way you don`t know what tomorrow holds. I`m a ray of sunshine aren`t I .
Very true Peter! I will still enjoy the sun , I'll just be a bit more careful. 👍
Great video mate - def a topic we don’t think about enough. Glad all is well for you, but you’re totally right the next poor chap walking in might have had a different story.
I wonder if the lower survival rate in Thailand is because people get diagnosed later or treatment isn’t so developed in govn hospitals for the everyday Thais.
I think you're right Simo, they don't catch it here early enough I think. Nobody is getting checks. I think awareness is slowly happening in Thailand though. I've heard a dozen people say that Doctor has removed cancers already, so she must treat a lot of people. Thanks mate.
FYI. Questions are now being raised about how healthy sun creams are for the skin.
I have Anglo skin in Australia, and for the sake of vitamin D, I frequently go for half hour walks in the early afternoon Australian summer sun. I protect my skin from burning by limiting the length of time I spend in direct sunlight to a few minutes before breaking the exposure with time in the shade. ie. 2 minutes in the sun, 1 minute in the shade, 2 minutes in the sun, ... etc. The theory is that the skin damage only really occurs after constant prolonged exposure (>10 minutes).
CB Media's released a video earlier today of an off-road car meet in rural Thailand. I noticed that at one point he was wearing a buff around his neck, a long sleeve t-shirt, and trousers.
I have been reading bit about that, also some creams don't do anything to protect at all. I'm the same as you, I need some sun and try to do short spells with my hat off. I love walking around also, so it's tough unless I'm totally covered. I love being out in the sun, so I'll just try and do the best I can.
Theirs a few foreigners near me that walk around in full neck covers, full sleeves, trousers and shoes, just like the Thais. Very wise people.
Thank God your in the clear Wayne it must be such a weight of your shoulders good subject
I'm all good mate. I was a bit worried at first, yes.
You are correct. The dermos here are not pro active on sun damage like my dermo in America.
👍👍
Good topic my friend, I wear my cap every day and use SPF 60. When you're young and foolish you don't care, but as you get older you realize you better take care of yourself if you want to be around a little longer.
Very true mate! I wear the same SPF 60 now. I'm not sure how good it is but it's better than nothing. Cheers mate.
Stay healthy and take care of yourself. Eye protection is important too, wear sunglasses for those sunny days. Cheers!
Yes, eyes can be affected aswell. 👍👍
I go to the dermatologist a few times a year for check-ups and to have pre-cancerous spots frozen off. Last year I had my first basal cell carcinoma on my head. Had surgery to have it removed. No problems since. Best to be pro-active.
Thanks for sharing this buddy, it's good to read about what others have had done. I'll be going for checks every 3 months now.
At least in a country where there is good inexpensive health care. Also, there are other vloggers that complain about the hot sun but go hatless. Kev of Thailand was a example of the need for early Dr. visits. Anyway, maybe you helped someone today.
Forgot ..I have sun spots on my right hand, but not on my left Because golf glove on the left. So doesn't take much.
I've just had a lump blasted off my head due to the sun, the UV index here is sky high, us baldies should always have a hat on and sunscreen
Hope all is well with your health now. Yes, it's no joke and something I'm taking more serious. Thanks
Living in New Zealand the sun was very harsh. Learned some habits to stay healthy in the Sun. I just keep sun screen by the door, and slap it on my arms and face before I go out walking or cycling. It becomes a good habit.
That's exactly how I look at it now. I'm still going out walking in the sun, but just being a bit more careful with the length of time and making sure I have sun lotion on. Thanks
Timely reminder Wayne. Just had a melanoma & a SCC removed. One on the ear & shoulder. Sunscreen wasn't around as a kid. Be careful mate, get an umbrella🤣
I don't know if your being serious or not here mate. Hope all is well now buddy! I think I'll have to order a full body suit 🤣
@@WalkAboutWayneYeah mate I don't joke about that. I lost my sister this week too😭
@@randyirvine5858 Arrrgh man, sorry to hear that buddy.
Are there any good pharmacies or supermarkets in Thailand to buy sun protection from or is it just online? What about mosquitos? Do you use DEET free products?
You can buy it at some places, normally it have Whitening added, and it's expensive. Sunscreen is easy to buy online here. I don't use much Mozzy spray these days. I buy the local 7/11 stuff when I do.
For some reason sunscreen is very expensive in South East Asia
Is it possible to buy a spray or cream cheaper off Amazon and have it delivered to Thailand? Would it be better to bring it over from a country like the UK? is DEET free insect repellent expensive?@@MrORANGEMAN1966
The sun in Chiang Mai is something else and i make sure to use sun screen when going out. This is coming from an asian that grew up in sunny singapore that doesn't normally use sun screen. During the hot months in CM, my skin feels like it's burning when under direct sunlight, only other place i felt the same was in australia.
Yes, hit season is starting now, the heat has risen in Chiang Mai.
@@WalkAboutWayne besides sunscreen decathlon sells very thin, cooling and uv protective long sleeve t-shirts. Very comfortable and protects your arms.
I think I've got nearly all the colours of everything from Decathlon 🤣. Great gear for the price though 👍👍
I cycle a lot 4-6hrs most days. I splut my time between Western Australia and Chiang Mai so I wear sunscreen a lot. I believe that the health benefits exceed the ridk butcstill want to mitigate that risk. I'm UK born but not too fair skinned, even so, I don't want to die of something easily avoided.
Nice one Rob, I know a few riders here in Chiang Mai also.
Glad you're ok Wayne. Coming from Australia, we are quite used to being sun safe. Thailand is next level though. Thanks for spreading the word, its so important.
Thank you Donna, Australia does seem very clued up on being sun safe. Maybe Thailand should do something, even some awareness in places. Thanks.
Sunsafe in Oz as they say you were well ahead of the curve on that. What is it Slip slop, slap...something like that...basically take a bath in sunscreen.
Wayne understand the c word horrible.i had basel cell carcinoma a few years a go it was on my nose scary.i would advice everyone to wear a high factorcsun cream
Yes Julie, it's hard to even say that word. Thanks.
If I should ever land in your neck of the woods, I believe I will wear long sleeve white shirts with the extra thin fabric, and button them all the way to the neck and wrists, { in Thailand I should wear a tie } as well with a 6 inch brim hat, and make it look as masculine as I can with maybe a Rattlesnake hide headband on it. I wear 3/4 length pants, and over the calf thin ribbed knit socks, with mostly fabric jungle boots. I would not want to block all my vitamin D because that boosts my immunity, but I think I would use sun block lotion on my hands. Consuming high quality iodine can help remove sun spots. I am ruddy too with a lot of English blood myself, so thanks for the reminder.
Sounds like you got it covered with that outfit 👍. You'll look a Bit by Dazzler with a tie on 👍
Cancers will form many years after sun exposure - maybe even 20-40 years - and usually will bleed in the case of Basal Cells, but do wear sunscreens - preferably non chemical (the white ones), as chemical sunscreens will protect buy give off free-radicals - wearing a hat that covers your ears too is very important - as you can see on your video, your ears, nose and side of cheeks are not protected - best to get a wide brimmed hat - the cap only really protects your scalp. Also, keep out of the sun from 11-3 or so, or cover up as much as possible. Take care Wayne and enjoy your like in CM!
Nice one 👍 maybe a brimmed hat for the trips. I'll still be out during the day but taking care abit more 👌
i Have a bit of "Ranga" (red) in my Genes and it does make a difference with the Sun, i had a few BCC's (basal Cell Carcinoma) pop up, had one cut out (big scar) so when the next one popped up i treated it with TTO (Tea Tre Oil) 3x a day and after 2 weeks it dried up and fell out leaving a crater that repairs itself. TTO was trailed in Aust and one of the Nordic countries with 100% success BUT mainstream Health haven't run with it, as there's not enough money in it. So do your own home work/research. get your back checked every year as i had a Mole removed that was Turning darker, results came back it was Changing for the worst, so be Vigilant People.
Hey Steve, thanks for sharing this, the tea tree is something I never knew. Good news that your ok. I'll be booked in for checks every 6 months now. Thanks.
Glad you did this. Remember i asked uou did you use sun tan lotions awhile ago 😂 take care pal
Yes, you sure did mate. I remember 👌
@@WalkAboutWayne where do you get the lotion outside Thailand or bangkok etc
@@Seoirse-pn5uu Online, Lazada or Shopee .
Walk-about, do you ever go back to England? Or do you stay in C-M all year round?
I've not been back for along time mate, I stay here all year round. I might be nipping back home soon though.
Ram hospital is a quality private hospital, it's a little bit more $$$ than the public government hospital. Still WAY cheaper than the US. I've used both and prefer RAM.
Yes mate that is 100% true, it's a great hospital. For something serious like this especially. For less serious things you can find cheaper, that's what I should have said. 👍. I won't go there for small problems as I've always paid through the nose, but I've always had good care there.
I have had 3 skin cancers cut out. They were all Basal Cancer which is the best one you can get. Australia and New Zealand are worse countries for cancer, and Scandinavian countries for some reason.
Cheers for sharing Paul, I hope everything is good now mate. I was thinking Australia must be near the top of the charts .
hi Wayne my wife and I are moving to Chiang Mai in April 20th we will be looking to rent a 1or2 bedroom condo apartment or a house do you know of a good agent that we could work with to find a good place we are looking for a quit place with cool weather we are moving from Jomtien Thailand
Hi Bobby, welcome to Chiang Mai in April. So many agents here mate and it's probably best to reach out on some of the Chiang Mai groups. My friend Tida could also help -facebook.com/TidaAsangha/
Thank you !!😊
We've evolved to deal with the sun naturally
I'm not to sure about that.
Survived Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma 30 years ago. No fear.
Non Hodgkin here aswell..30 years ago, glad to be ok today!
Nice one buddy 👍
Survivors!@@sissisquiltandbatik
I’m gonna sound like a real dickhead now, telling you what I did when I was a lad. I left West Brom when I was 17, headed for Western Australia. I got a job as an apprentice chippy (carpenter), I was on a job for about a year working outside on a prison that was being built. I used to go all day everyday working in the sun wearing shorts and boots, that’s it. I was so dark brown it wasn’t funny. When I took my shorts off, my backside was so white compared to the rest of me, you would have to wear sunglasses as the glare was too much. Fast forward 47 years to 64 years old, I wish I had taken more care, but nobody knew any better then, if they did I didn’t. But most blokes working on building sites did the same as me. I have had quite a few skin cancers cut out of my back and shoulders. Fortunately I have good skin and I can take a fair bit of sun, so I am not too bad. I have to get a check up every year. I have a skin cancer behind my right ear that the Doc is aware of. Nothing to worry about, but I will have to get it dealt with soon. My wife reckons I’m still gorgeous! That’s the main thing 😂
Hi Phil, great to read this comment mate, every Brit would have done the same, shirt off all day. Like you mentioned, it's years later it can show up. Hope it's all gets sorted with the one on the ear mate. Thanks
@@WalkAboutWayne We had another heatwave go through last week, one of the days got to 49.3C, that’s the hottest day I have experienced in Oz.
What did you mean by find ways for cheap hospital treatment. Getting ripped off
Find a different hospital or clinic. Ram will give you amazing treatment though. But the same Doctor will see you cheaper in her clinic, then in the Hospital.
I Watchef some of your former videos Where you didnt wear a hat. You were terrible sunburned. You Are bald and light skin and sun is terrible hot. The sun really caught you
I wouldn't say terrible, but I've caught the sun a lot here, sure. Cheers 👍
I was walking in phuket a few years ago and within 90 mins i had 3rd degree burns on my legs as i dident use any sun cream i had to fly back to the uk,they said i should have gone straight to a&e
Jesus! that's just shows how powerful the sun is. I remember when I was a kid and my legs were red raw from the summers.
Mate , as a Australian aged 68 ? I’ve had multiple skin cancer legions removed over the years ,
One removed was a bad bastard ,
All good now ,
But have a good check up with my doctor at home , every 6 months ,
Stop wearing those caps mate , you need a broad brimmed hat ,
Thanks for sharing Peter, I hope all is well now buddy. I'm going for checks often aswell now. Maybe a brimmed hat for trips or put on the neck scarf more. Cheers mate.
Yeah a clean bill of health when you are telling yourself it is something terrible is a huge relief. From a fellow super-white guy, congratulations on the good news. But, mate, that cap looks good, but protecting you from the sun? 555 I don't think so. Ears are a prime spot for skin cancer. You gotta go full sun hat like I do. I saw a subscriber on the street and I was wearing the same wide-brimmed straw hat as I do in some videos (I admit to bringing 6 of them from California) and he laughed and said "So you really wear the hat!" Yeah, you bet I do, and sunscreen too. Makes me worry less, which is half the battle. And I tell myself I look good in my hat, even if I am the only one thinking that, haha.
Yeah but you could tell that to 99% of the people here. I'll never stop wearing my caps. A brimmed hat for the longer trips could be on the cards though. A cap is better than none aswell. It's not about living in fear everyday for me, it's just about being a bit more careful and limiting myself.. You look a Bobby Dazzler in your straw hat. If that's what your happy with, fair play. Cheers.
How about that burning season? CO2 levels suck lol.
It sure does 👍👍
I'm a sunlight vitamin expert and I recommend you to read the book of Dr.Holick or at least listen to his speaking and you'll know that what you were told by other stupid dermatologists were a hoax.
I'm not sure that getting skin cancer is a hoax buddy.
I don't have time to explain you. Here is an excerp from Holick's book "Although it has been suggested that melanoma is associated with sun exposure, it should be noted that some melanomas occur on the least sun-exposed areas, i.e., back of leg, abdomen, etc.,"
This whole google diagnosis stuff is rubbish. If you have a concern, go to the doctor and get it looked at, it's not hard. If you don't have the right medical cover or cash to pay for it, go home.
