The Sun's Rays

Over the summer period I've been getting itchy on the skin area near my elbows. I didn't worry about it for a while, but then I got a little concerned when it kept coming back.

It seems that when I go out-doors for lengthy periods, even with 30+ sunscreen on my arms, that night they get itchy. If I don't ride and keep out of the Sun for a few days, nothing!

Haven't won Lotto so it's not luck related.

If I wear a long sleeve shirt and sunscreen it fixes the problem.

Call me crazy, but I reckon a lot more of the Sun's Rays are getting through, and to be quite honest, I can feel a tiny burning sensation around the elbows when I forget to apply sunscreen and do 2 or more hours.

I'm either getting old, or becoming a crispy critter.

I hear we're due for a Solar Storm in a few years too.
