I had the same problem on my left forearm and developed a rash. I used a corticosteroid cream to treat it. Now I wear a light long-sleeve shirt when I'm traveling with the sun on that side. Problem solved.Diet is a huge part of life, period.
I'm a truck driver. I'm gone for WEEKS at a time away from home. I can only cook and freeze so much healthy home cooked food and keep it in the truck with me. Eventually I have to start eating junk because it's all we have access to at truck stops.
We also sit with the sun shining on us sometimes 7 or 8 hours a day through the side glass. We can put up a shade, but then that restricts our visibility out the side and to the rear from the side rear-view mirror that many truckers opt out of using a shade. They say I can deal with a melanoma easier than with a lawsuit from running over someone in an 80,000lb rig.
If you notice A LOT of older truckers have a scar on their left arm. That's from skin cancer being removed from the sun shining through the glass onto their left arm for decades.
