The Damage Produced by Sun Exposure (with Photos)

This is a 70+ year old man who had blonde hair in is youth. He was a lifeguard for 15 years and constantly got sun burned. The price he paid for this sun exposure is monthly visits to his dermatologist with many, many skin cancers. Notice that his hair loss could not be worse, with hair not only in the front and top, but also the sides to just behind the ears. I suggested that he was not a candidate for hair transplants. You can see the many scars resulting for removal of his skin cancer. The message to take from this is to stay out of the sun and certainly be careful that you don’t get sun burned!
