Thanks alot all for your opinions!
I havent really been burnt in a while, so it is not that. I am concerned with the years of accumulated sun on my forearms. We just kind of always went around, played, worked, walked around, went out and stuff with short sleeves in the summer time. Now I have discovered "cool" shirts and can be more comfortable in a sleeve than a regular tshirt.
I think I was born into skin cancer. We do freckle a bit. At a young age I had, i think, two moles removed. In my family, some of us tan easily, but I have an older family member whose back is ate up with terrible looking moles and such. I assume it is from working in the fields back in the day without a shirt and hunched over.
Also, I am beginning to think it is getting worse with all the petroleum and coal we are burning as 69GTX may have pointed out.
A different train of thought. We may think we are just not 'figuring' out problems, but it may be possible we are creating the problems that now have to be cured.
Back to skin, Ive thought about using Vitamin E oil from the pharmacy.
