People say you should use sun blocker cream to protect ur affected areas(white patches), since that area doesnt have any melanin, it can BE BURNT/damaged in the sun. On the other hand, we have other treatments which include standing in the sun (to have useful UV rays).
Now, its confusing to me.
If I apply suns cream ON THE WHITE PATCHES while I m in the sun, will I get USEFUL UV rays from sun? Isnt it,suns cream,supposed to block UV rays ?
My physicians here prescribe standing in the sun for 10-15 min. If I dont apply suncream, skin gets burnt,but if applied,then how can I have useful UV rays.
Pls somebody help me here with this.
