I am sad to hear your girlfriend has developed this condition so common to
climates like ours. While it has little OM content, recent research on this
subject is important to photographers that tend to be outdoors a lot. It now
appears sunblock does not help prevent skin carcinomas. It is a matter of
genetics and exposure to sun with or without sunblock or sunburn. Blondes
and redheads with light eyes and many moles are the highest risk group.
Persons of high risk should keep the sun off their skin whether or not they
use sunblock. This is important to me as I am in the middle risk wise, but I
have spent many hours outdoors in the Texas sun.

Good luck,
Doug
