When I was younger I would come down to FL and get my tan, but now that I am older I am tired of the heat and the sweating so avoid being out when I can. I miss the days of sitting under the shade of a tree in the backyard since we dont really have a backyard, or at least I don't.

I just had my first visit to the dermatologist and was not happy to have basal cell cancer and the treatment of that. It REALLY makes you think twice. Once you are in that office and look around at all the people being treated and all those bandaids etc, it makes one take a step back.

Look up the symptoms of skin cancer and if you have a supicious area, so get it checked EARLY. Anything the side of a pencil eraser that doesn't heal and/or is sore, go have it looked at! There are other symptoms too. My husband had a crusty area on top of his head. It is PRE-cancerous and they took care of it fast. They said that one would have been malanoma. His comb kept hitting it.

I think if people went into the Dermatologist office and saw how much money they make, maybe they would have second thoughts about that beautiful tan.

So get the sun block out and USE IT!!! Be PRO-ACTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
