Freckles

[DC]

I've noticed freckles on my dome.  I think it's probably from being out in the sun w/o a hat at times.  Now my head looks a bit like the proverbial "speckled egg".  What's a guy to do before kids start playing "connect the dots" on his head? 

How did you gents handle freckles. Any sage advice will help.  Thanx!

I have spotting on the top of my head too.  I've been burnt to a crisp a few times since going sly and burnt many times when I had a buzzcut that had pratically no sunlight-blocking abilities whatsoever.  When I had a buzzcut I never wore a hat or put sunscreen into my hair, so my scalp has been abused a lot.

These spots seemed to fade a little bit once I became more protective of my skin, but they are still very much there.  They worry me because if they really are the result of sun damage then do I have a ticking time-bomb on my head?  Will they eventually sprout little melanoma growths?  I don't know.  My dermatologist doesn't seem concerned either.
