Anyone have tips on sun protection?

@ca426 I tend to just try to stay in the shade. We are looking into a vacation to a warm place during the winter. An essential for me is that there be shade, not a wide-open beach. We had a perfect vacation in Antigua at one point but I know now I would need to get some immunizations to go there since I am post-transplant so we may try to stay in the states.
I really hate using sunscreen. I only use it when absolutely necessary and so far, so good.

I, too, was told to avoid the sun, but when you live in sunny Colorado, it’s kind of hard. I do wear sunscreen everyday and wear long sleeves and hats. When all this started for me, I went for a dermatology skin cancer screening and continue to go every year. It’s good to know that someone with expertise looks at all the bumps and spots!
