My name is Des McCammon.
I am male, 79 years old, retired.
I discovered I had a serious skin cancer problem in 2009. My attitude towards sun cancer is to take extreme care especially if you have fair skin. The smallest spot can herald a melanoma. Complete cover is the only real protection.
To the young I say be aware of your individual risk factors i.e. fair skin. The subtle nature of melanoma is frightening. I am a regular golfer but use the cover of extremities at all times. I pay particular attention to driving my car with arm and hand protection.
Exposure needs only to be for a few minutes before serious damage can occur. I have had too many basal cell carcinomas burned to count. I have had three melanoma removed, one required a skin graft. Melanoma removal is an operation far beyond what the "spot" may suggest.
Thank you Des for helping raise awareness for skin cancer, melanoma and skin conditions, and sharing your story with us and our Solbari Community.

Below are 7 areas which people often forget to protect from the sun and can cause serious sunburn and skin damage...
1. Ears: Have you ever had blistering, peeling ears? Well, it's pretty painful and not a good look. Don't forget to apply sunscreen on your ears, the upper area and behind them.
2. Eyelids: It's a very delicate area, where the skin is sensitive and thin. Category 3 sunglasses will help protect the eyes as well as a wide brim sun hat.
