I had a melanoma in situ removed some years ago. This year I've had a skin lesion and head cyst removed, both benign, but its triggered more paranoia about UV than when I had the melanoma.
I am finding it really hard in low light and dull days to remember to cover up my scars especially the recent one on my head. I need to remember a hat all the time and sometimes if we are running late for school or something I just forget.
Does anyone know if low UV, ie 1 or under, on a November morning in the UK really matters for 5-10 min on scars?
I dont wear sunscreen in the UK in winter unless out for hours, but am panicky about the scars. (Should add I have read the main scar risk is hyper pigmentation, couldnt care less about that,only if it increases skin cancer risk)
