The sun doesn't joke!! Sun, skin, burn!!

Sun, skin, burn!! The summer trilogy that becomes topical in cases of skin disease!!

The holidays have begun, the baths have started and we all want to tan, as fashion dictates. But the sun is not joking. Its radiation, most of the time, can cause minor to very serious damage, while skin diseases that improve with the sun are few. Let's see, Well, how can we protect ourselves……

Despite the fact that there are the protective defense mechanisms of the skin, there are many dermatological problems in the summer!! Acute skin diseases caused by solar radiation are more common during this period.

They mainly belong to these diseases, sunburn, that appears 6-12 hours after sun exposure, with increased redness of the skin, increased heat and itching, drug-induced photodermatitis, chemicals and fragrances, the phytophotodermatitises, the multiform light rash and smallpox sweat (small blisters that look like smallpox blisters in childhood or adolescence).

There are certain medications that, when applied topically to the skin or when taken orally, they absorb the sun's ultraviolet radiation, eventually causing photodermatitis (erythema, swelling and blisters on the exposed parts of the body, face, dorsal surface of hands and shins). Therapeutically, discontinuation of the drug is recommended (if this can be done) or the very good photoprotection. 

**Of the drugs used locally, Photodermatitis is most often caused by the anti-acne medication tretinoin, isotretinoin and benzene peroxide, from anesthetics and some antiseptics, such as eosin and sulfamides.

**Of the drugs administered orally, photodermatitis is more often caused by tetracyclines, minocycline, the sulfonamides, isotretinoin, some sedatives and some antiarrhythmics.

**In what,what about photodermatitis from perfumes, in the places where cologne or other products that have impurities from perfumes are applied, appear 6-12 hours after exposure to the sun light or intense redness.

When these lesions subside, long narrow brown spots remain for a long time. Whitening creams are used to treat these spots.

So, if a person comes into contact with the grass or these plants, lying on them or walking among them and then sunbathing, at the points of skin contact with these plants, phytophotodermatitis lesions with erythema will appear, blisters and blisters, due to the intense reaction of the substances contained in the plants with the ultraviolet radiation of the sun.

Phytophotodermatitis will be treated with cortisone creams. When the erythema subsides, brown spots may remain for a long time. The treatment of these spots will be done with whitening creams.

The multiform light rash first appears in the summer, after prolonged sun exposure with redness, bubbles, blisters and itching in the décolletage areas, hands and feet.

Because there is a great sensitivity in the patients that the disease occurs, they should be protected from the sun by using sunscreens with high protection factors.
