Sun damage is the number one cause of premature aging, fine lines and age spots, most commonly found on the face and most of all it is also the cause of skin cancer. It has been a fact that the UV rays of the sun is dangerous specially at the time of the day where the sun is at its peak of hotness because the UVA rays will penetrate deep into the skin.

During the summer month. The sun is always at its full capacity of giving us a lot of its UV rays and because of the pollution that damages our ozone layer, a large amount of these UV rays are hitting us directly. In this time also skin becomes dull because of sand, chlorine and other factors.

Since summer time is the best way to go on a vacation,most of us enjoys spending it on the beach and have fun under the sun, so the most essential thing that we should do to protect our skin from the sun is used a sunblock. Sunblock helps prevents the sun from inflicting too much damage to our skin, but we have to remember that in using sunblock it must be compatible with our skin type or else we may get allergies.

skin Allergy

Have been to the doctor for the follow up and to get the results of the Biopsy.
I was again, as usual on the waiting list, waited for about 4 hours....it is always like this, since there were always a lot of patients ( lots of people have skin problems these days)..
To make it short, it was both Bad news and good news..BAD news is the allergies is known as PITYRIASIS LICHENOIDES CHRONICA with no known cause and it is chronic...GOOD news is thatit is not cancerous, not hereditary( can't be passed on) and it is not contagious. I don't know how to react on that, don't even know what should I feel, should I be happy that there were a lot of good news than bad nor be sad that we can't target the cause because it is not known...
The advise that was given to me by the doctor was too be under the heat of the sun 1 hour everyday, I'm getting my tan after the summer..lol..and he had given me a cream for the meantime, then I will be back again after one month.
I hope this sun bathing thing will help, aside from getting tan, there is a great exposure of ultra violet rays that I will be getting for a month and I hope it wont be the start of a much serious skin problems...
I am hoping, the medication and the dedication would cure this..to get my Flawless skin back!
