I used to see 6 AM rainbows a lot on my paper delivery days back when I started out at 6 AM

Be glad. As a balding gentleman, let me tell you that a sunburned scalp is no fun. Hats are mandatory for me nowadays.
A shirt, then? Or at least sunscreen?
Oh God, now a weird perversion of a John Denver song has entered my head. It goes, "Sunscreen on my shoulders, looks so lovely."

Wind burn to the point of blistering is worse on a scalp - had that as a teen at a Highland Games - as a dancer we had to have our hair braided and no hats allowed...I thought my shirt collar was higher than it seems it wasBe glad.

Ouch. That sounds very unfun.

VERY! And unlike a bald head, I still had hair that needed brushed before the blisters all healed

Well, if we're into horrible-ness comparisons, a scalp that is covered with an evil psoriasis/eczema mixture is seriously not fun, and it appears to be more or less permanent. LAST with the grossness...

Absolutely. I do not win. If only I had some idea of cause(s). My life with skin is not a fun thing. At the moment, my elbows are terribly involved, and I can feel them all the time, and i hunch my arms around wyrdly to avoid touching anything with them, then my back goes out. Jeez, old age at not quite 61.

food allergies?

Possibly, but I have a sister deep into that, and honestly there's too much woo-woo in there for me, respectfully. The diet restrictions, the way they determine allergens are not always scientifically sound. I have a referral to a dermatologist, probably really need an immunologist. I have had good luck with a DCM but haven't seen her for a few years.

Even then, if it's just skin involvement and not actual hives legit allergy testing is very hit or miss. Elimination diet is about the only way to go and from what I've looked into with psoriasis the trigger to outbreak can be a fairly long time frame and foods aren't the only factor which complicates figuring it out. Eczema is a bit easier.

No, I have wyrd T-cell involvement. The immunology department at U of T found my blood very interesting many years ago (I worked for the Assoc Dean, research, who also had a basic lab, and they often borrowed blood). There's clearly some strange family allergies. My Dad was on steroids most of his life due to asthma caused by immune responses.

Imagine mandated masks, screens and hats ... resolutely as the 1st desk ...
