Travelling

Advice

Hi all,

I got a second degree burn from boiling water on my chest 6 months ago. It’s Winter where I’m at so it’s been pretty easy to keep the burn out of the sun.

There’s a hyper pigmented area and a hypo pigmented area.

I want to travel, specially to Costa Rica this April, and it looks like the UV index will be very high.

Any advice on how to keep it out of the sun?

It’s unfortunately pretty central on my chest, so most women’s tops have it exposed. And a bikini and such will definitely expose it. Or is it not worth going at all?
