Thanks Richard, Dermatologists advise people suffering from skin cancer to cover their skin completely or use high factor sunscreen EVERY 2 HOURS WHENEVER they are exposed to sunshine. However, vitamin-D sufficiency is necessary as part of a healthy lifestyle to prevent or help heal many forms of cancer, including skin cancer. I found through experience that even 15 minutes exposure of my fair skin to midday sunshine in New Plymouth during May, June and July aggravated my skin cancer. That created a dilemma. But I found through experience that I could achieve optimum benefit from sunshine by exposing different sides of my body to midday sun for no more than 6 minutes in summer and no more than 8 minutes in winter. That accumulated a total of 24 minutes and 32 minutes respectively for my whole body. But I avoid the sun or cover up completely on alternative days.
