steve45 May 2018 11:39am, 21 May 2018 2,569 posts	0 steve45 It's 60 here in Wales Columba! The only time I had a general health check (bloods, BP, etc) was when I changed GP surgeries a year ago. It's the seemingly trivial (?) things that go wrong that give me cause to go to the GP anyway--lately thanks to being bald for the last thirty years--sun damage to the skin on my head has been treated. Thankfully I did start wearing a running hat when running just about thirty years ago so hope that that's been a good preventative measure against the more serious skin cancers. The dermatologiy dept at the local hospital strongly advised keeping skin on my head out of the sunshine as often as possible! It might be an "epidemic" in waiting with the shaved head look being taken up now by so many...
