Sun Tanning VS Treament with SUN, Confusing?

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.
