Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I get tanned really easily. My skin is super sensitive. None of the sunscreens really helped me with this problem. If I am under the sun even for five minutes, I get super super tanned.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Which sunscreen are you using and its SPF?

Actually, sunscreens are of two types: physical and chemical. Physical sunscreen is better in protecting from sun radiation but the problem is that they are not cosmetically acceptable. Because they are visibly seen on the face. I will suggest you use topical Vitamin C preparation along with your sunblock. Properly use sunblock of SPF 60 frequently. Apply it every two hourly and evenly.

Treatment plan

Apply sunblock of SPF 60, use Vitamin C preparation BD.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
