I found your site very informative.
Thank you.
Incidentally, I viewed a site that has a product called Dermacure that guarantees to quickly get rid of many different skin marks and spots.
The website is brandnewskin.org

The simple answer is yes. It's the atmosphere that filters out much of the UV. What we get is minor compared to what hits the atmosphere. I don't recall the numbers, but you can look them up online. Higher altitudes also tend to be cooler and misleading when people try to estimate exposure to the sun.
Don't trust me... look it up.

I would like to ask "if people live at higher altitutudes are more susceptible to melenoma cancer"? My surgeon went down ninw layers on my face. I would like to know about the altitude - maybe I need to nag those who are dear ro me more than I do. Thankyou!

I recently had the experience of going to a dermatologist and having him find a small bright blue spot on my behind. The only way I could see it was to stand backwards in front of a tall mirror and, even then, it was hard to find. I told the doctor that it was probably a bruise or maybe an inkstain. He told me I had a Blue Nevas and that it could possibly turn cancerous and that I would have to have it removed. Having never heard of such a thing, I did some research, found out that, indeed, there was such a thing and we arranged for simple outpatient surgery.
It was the prettiest blue spot I had ever had on my body and I was sort of sorry to see it go. I wondered whether people with tattoos all over their bodies are more difficult to diagnose for things like this.
