Sunshine – friend or foe . . .


(Note: photo might be disturbing to some.)



Sunshine is good for us in many ways but not so much for our skin. Years of tanning, burning, and peeling can not only make the skin like shoe leather but also cause unwanted visits to a dermatologists office. Years ago, we did not know how much damage the sun could do to our skin. Now we do. So, please wear a hat and sunscreen and long sleeves if you are going to be out in the sun for any length of time.

I had my first experience with skin cancer and hope to not have any more experience with it. I hope this picture of my nose will help make kids and grandchildren be aware of what can happen with too much sun and too little protection.
