I work in a garden center, and I have been nervous about one thing, I don't think of it when I see my rad DR so I will ask here. Where I had the radiation, of course my skin was black but it came off with time and a scrubbie. What I want to know is the skin where the burn mark was still tender enough that when I am at work will my skin turn darker then the rest of my skin? Is it more suseptible to sunburn? Cancer? I have stayed inside for the most part of this year and didn't get as dark as I usually get becuase of fear. Yes I know about sunscreen but I sweat and it gets in my eyes. I don't know how long I can avoid working outside again before my boss gets angry. True I have been there 10 years and he knows what I have gone through, he's like a brother to me but he still can tell me to hit the road. So what do we think can I play in the sun again?
