    After a Stage 1 melanoma diagnosis, how much sun exposure is considered safe? Is it necessary to avoid direct sunlight completely, or can outdoor activities continue with proper protection?

    I’d love to hear how others manage sun exposure after melanoma, including their experiences with sunscreen, protective clothing, and outdoor activities. What precautions have your dermatologists recommended?

    Sharing experiences could help others understand how to enjoy outdoor life while reducing the risk of further skin damage.

      I had stage 4 melanoma and received immunotherapy for 4 years 6 months. I wear protective clothing including covering my legs when bicycling. This summer I usually bicycled 2 to 3 hours every other day. I wore sunscreen on my face, if I planned to bicycle after 9 AM. On cloudy days in late October I don’t use sunscreen bicycling. In summer I started running at dawn and did not use sunscreen. Now I run in midmorning and use sunscreen, if it is sunny.
