Yeah, it's about 3/8" around, and the doctor said he'll probably just cut it out and stitch it up.
One of the reasons I dislike applying sunscreen is getting it in my eyes if I have to wipe them during pollen season when they feel like I have sandpaper eyelids when I blink. There's always "residue" of it on my hands no matter how much I try to wipe it off after application.
I've heard that some people will squirt some water on the sleeves if it gets too hot, and that actually helps keep your arms cool.
