I am in desperate need of a bra that won't make me want to take a shot of whisky and knock myself out until the sunburn fades! I am doing uvb and this is the 4th time I have gotten burned. My chest is bright red and too large to go braless. Help! Has anyone actually had this problem? Can you recommend a comfortable bra (gentle on the skin) even if you haven't had this issue? Please sisters...I will take any suggestions. I can't keep this up. My bras are just too painful!

Hi Gia! I had the same problem on my chest area. I wear a sports bra during my treatment because I couldn't handle the burn and itch! Good luck! Keep us updated on your progress. I stopped UVB but am planning to start back up again in August!
Gia my daugheter is a friend of yours on vit friends, her name is Jessica Edinger she is fairly new to the site, my name is Jackie Edinger (Jessica's mom) I have a bra that is called "barley there" it is really comfy doesnt have any hardware but still supports you. Hope this helps
Thank you, thank you! I will go try some on asap. I found some locations nearby that sell them. I appreciate it so much. Yes, I remember your daughter. How is she? This thing is such a roller coaster ride. Sometimes I am holding on until my knuckles turn white and other times I throw my hands in the air and figure I might as well enjoy the ride because there's no getting off :) All my best to you and your daughter.
Just curious...how long are you in front of the lights? My son has a hand held wand and doesn't even get pink on his feet and knees at 10 minutes. His hips however get pink at 5 minutes. I am glad I am able to vary my times depending on the body part. Good luck to you! Hope you are feeling better!
I am up to 2 min 40 sec. The lights may be stronger in the stand up than the handheld? It's my fault. It happens mostly aster I skip treatments. It is difficult to fit in going to the doctor 3 days a week with my schedule. Thank you! One more day and I should be better :)
