Great reminder. I've had skin cancer a couple of times and I'm far from what you'd call the outdoorsy type. Caught early, it's a very manageable condition. Keep an eye on your moles and if any start changing quickly, schedule a dermatology exam. I get annual checkups.

My skin was fucking RAW!
"And this epithelial tissue, is it squamous?"
"No chef, basal."
"Fuck me."
I'm dying. So fucking funny.
U sure? I thought it was baked.
I think it's worth noting, these were basal cells, the "good" kind of skin cancer.
Yeah, a lot of people think that skin cancer and melanoma are synonymous, but basal and squamous cell carcinomas are skin cancers that are usually easily spotted and removed by a trained dermatologist. Melanoma is the one that sneaks up on you and can be hard to remove by the time it's spotted. Still a good idea to use sunscreen, obviously - all cancers are dangerous in the end.
especially for white people, most susceptible to sun damage.
I still don't understand how the British don't have a massive fatality rate as I see lots of them as lobsters in Greek summer.
Due to our healthy lifestyles, the heart disease gets us first.
Ah, I see. That's clever. No, wait... 😉

Wear sunscreen, You fuckin donkey!
I forget which one of Ramsey's shows it was, but the one with ABC kitchen in phoenix. When he found out that the owners took all the servers tips he took a server out back, gave her like $20 and was like "that is for you. Do not let them know." And prior to this I thought he was some megalomaniac asshole. His tough guy asshole thing was just an act for the camera. He actually seems to be a nice guy.
ABC kitchen in phoenix
Kitchen Nightmares (US)
His tough guy asshole thing was just an act for the camera.
Watch the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares some time. He's far less angry. US audiences love drama, so he's significantly more dramatic and angry in the US version. It's just for show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtq7fRDqxN4
& is real nice with kids right?
I can only think of "2 million sunblock" from Terminator 2.
Or wear layers, if you have the endurance for it a leather jacket can prevent you from getting burnt if not cooked. This coming from a Southern Californian of primarily Scottish and Irish descent, my kin have been here for 150 years.
A light, ventilated UV-block shirt is probably better in that case.
Probably, but I have a leather jacket from the 1970s I don't have a UV block shirt.
always look for ABCDE of any moles. it works for non-melanoma cancers too, but with the leisons because they dont come from moles. any suspicious bleeding, or flaking lesion, or suddenly growing should be checked asap.
Don't need sunscreen if you don't "touch grass" /j
Spf face moisturizer, get your face neck and ears in the morning. You'll look younger for a lot longer too.
