A mole that starts to itch needs to be removed. Itching could signal a situation in which the immune system is depositing inflammatory chemicals and cells on the mole in an effort to rid the skin of it. To prevent skin cancer, stay covered up with tightly woven, light clothing and wear sunscreen or sunblock. Staying in the shade is not good enough, because the skin can absorb one quarter to one third of cancer-causing rays as they bounce off the water and the boat s decks. For a block, I recommend a brown make-up base.
Blocks don t just screen the sun, they block the rays.
Foundations with SPF factors and sunscreens help, but it s important to remember that sunscreens are not all created equal, and that the number on the bottle may not correlate with a high degree of sun protection. Sunscreens are invisible and may be wiped off unknowingly or sweated away, whereas with a darker cream one can see exposed skin. Another problem is skin infection. Symptoms include redness, swelling, pain and heat. More serious is the development of a red streak going away from the wound.
