Why did Phil Mickelson started wearing sunglasses?

Phil Mickelson wore sunglasses for the first time at the Charles Schwab Challenge, which was the first event after the pandemic. After a few days, Mickelson was in the commentary box, where they asked him the reason for wearing sunglasses. “Back during Covid break, I did this Carac cream, which is like skin cancer chemotherapy treatment on your face for like two weeks,” said Phil. 

“You skin blotches up, and you kill these cancer cells that you can’t see. And when I went outside, I had to wear some protection. So I wore these glasses to kind of protect the area around my eyes.” However, it wasn’t clear if he was using the cream as a precaution or to combat an existing condition.
