Is Bandage And Scarf Enough For Exposure To Sun After The Operation?

I recently had a surgery (thyroidectomy) and have been using a bandage topped with a scarf to protect the neck scar from the sun (since the scar is only 3 weeks old and very tender, I was hesitant to put sunscreen on it in case it irritated it). Is a bandage and scarf sufficient protection from the sun?
