Hello Lynn and trured, I found the chapstick in CVS with lots to choose from. I wanted to use one since in Florida is very hot now and I want to protect self when I am driving  to and from work. I start treatment on the 29 th, I am very happy and also afraid but I got this site to turn to:)

You just gave me a good tip, I never thought about chapstick with SPF. I got sunscreen but forgot about lips. I am a redhead and I am worried about sun exposure. Thks again!

IHi Fred

I just limited my sun exposure in general. SPF clothing, hat, sunscreen. I use chap stick all the time and I would expect the SPF varity to be readily available at any drug store.

Best to just try to stay out of the sun as much as you can and take precautions if you cant. Summer is most peoples fav season but being cured is worth the sacrifice on one summer's worth of sunshine.

Good Luck on treatment
Lynn
