Velociraptor May 2018 1:58pm, 21 May 2018 38,307 posts	0 Velociraptor Well spotted, um. I can confirm that being a geriatric scrote doesn't protect against sun damage to the scalp. But yes, only those who are a little thin on top.
WtnMel May 2018 4:49pm, 21 May 2018 1,024 posts	0 WtnMel I remember my ears when applying sun cream but don't always remember to remove my hearing aids before starting to do so
Columba May 2018 4:53pm, 21 May 2018 15,628 posts	0 Columba My hair covers my ears. This is policy on my part, to hide the hearing aids.
Lip Gloss May 2018 5:09pm, 21 May 2018 29,536 posts	0 Lip Gloss I usually end up with a bright red strip where my parting is, I really should vary it or wear a hat more often. I have also burned my ears in the past with the sun but more often I burn them with the hair straightener:-O I noticed my dad has a really bad bit on the top of his ear, he says it's nothing sinister but certainly looks like it is
hillstrider May 2018 5:25pm, 21 May 2018 5,016 posts	0 hillstrider I wore my cap for my 8 mile forest run this morning, but it did not prevent the sweat from my forehead, rolling down the sun cream and into my eyes. It was 21 degrees, so quite hot!
Badger May 2018 5:29pm, 21 May 2018 9,382 posts	0 Badger Tip for that. Little bit of vaseline from the bottom corner of one eyebrow all the way over to the end of the other, and a lot of the sweat will run across it and down the sides of your face instead.
GregP May 2018 5:53pm, 21 May 2018 102,981 posts	0 GregP I spent three hours paddle boarding inn saturday. My scalp is outrageously tender and yes, I should know better. Older yes. Wiser not so much.
Velociraptor May 2018 6:10pm, 21 May 2018 38,310 posts	0 Velociraptor There are advantages to sports that require the use of headwear I am not laughing about anyone's sun damage, because I'm fairly sure I have two little rodent ulcers forming on my forehead and I've been freezing actinic keratosis off my forearms for years.
