Protecting scar from sun exposure?
My thyroidectomy was in October so this is my first summer with the scar and it is finally starting to fade a bit, I'm curious how you all go about protecting your scar from sun exposure? Is sunscreen enough or should I be physically covering it too? How long did you avoid UV exposure to prevent pigmentation? I live in Seattle so our UV index isn't too high, but getting into summer I want to be careful about it.
