Danger of excessive sun, using sunscreen to comply with the shots?

 

• Vitamin D-3 can prevent novel corona virus infection. Since the start of the unlock episode, many people have been wandering around in the sun for this vitamin lately. Because many people were at home for a long time in the lockdown. As a result, various skin problems are increasing.
• Ultraviolet rays from direct sunlight come into contact with the skin and cause skin problems, said Sandeepan Dhar, a professor at the Institute of Child Health and president of the Indian Society for Pediatric Dermatology.
• As a rule, those who go out must apply sunscreen on exposed parts of their body. When the sun is above our head, the infrared rays of the sun fall directly on the skin, causing more pain in the heat. It is accompanied by purple light and red light which means ultraviolet A and B rays.
• There is a risk of skin damage due to the effects of ultraviolet rays of sunlight, said Sandeepanbabu. Under the influence of ultraviolet rays, the skin becomes pigmented and becomes dark, black spots appear. Since this ultra violet ray is always in daylight, you have to apply sunscreen whenever you go out during the day. Also, patients with skin diseases like photo dermatitis, zero pigmentation or erythematosus get irritated and suffer from sun exposure. They need to use sunscreen as advised by their doctor.
• Dermatologist Shekhar Haldar said that one should go out with sunscreen with SPF of 30 or more at least 20 minutes before going out. Sunscreen is applied on exposed parts of the body. Many people think that sunscreen is unnecessary on a cloudy day. But this idea is not entirely correct, as clouds or fog block the infra red of the sun, the heat is low, but it cannot block ultraviolet rays. So if you want to go out of the house, you need sunscreen, said Shekharbabu. Sunscreen protects the skin from sunlight like an umbrella. Therefore, in all seasons, if you want to go out at any time of the day, it is important to apply sunscreen on the skin, Shekhar Haldar suggested.

• Use sunscreen lotion under the eyes but it should be medicated. File image.
• If you don't use it properly, even after applying sunscreen, many people get black spots on their skin, said Sandeepan Dhar. Rules for using sunscreen cream or lotion: 15-20 minutes before going out, apply a lot of cream or lotion on the open part of the body like neck, face, hands, elbows etc. Do not rub hard. If you want to walk around in the sun continuously, you need to apply sunscreen every 2.5-3 hours.
• For those whose skin is sensitive, medicated sunscreen is good, said Shekharbabu. LED lights also emit ultraviolet rays. Therefore, if you have sensitive skin, Shekharbabu thinks that you should apply sunscreen even if you are under electric light. Children should use sunscreen from the age of 2 years. Although Kovid has reduced the number of children going out, sunscreen is mandatory when going out, advises Sandeep Babu. In addition, those who have to do make-up due to their profession, should also apply sunscreen before make-up.
• Sunscreen should be applied not only in the sun, but also in extra bright artificial light. Many people do not apply sunscreen these days as they have to wear masks and face shields. Even if the mask or shield Covid-19 is blocked, it will not be able to block the ultraviolet rays, said Sandeepanbabu.
• In the climate of our country, people usually use sunscreen of 20-30 SPF, sunscreen with 70-80 SPF is not very useful.
• According to Shekharbabu, it is better to use medicated sunscreen with the advice of a doctor knowing the skin type. This cream can protect the skin from ultraviolet rays for 2.5-3 hours. Although medicated sunscreen is effective for 3 hours, the effectiveness of cosmetic sunscreen starts to decrease after 30 minutes.
• Cosmetic sunscreen should never be applied to sensitive skin in children. Those whose skin is extremely sensitive to ultraviolet rays should also apply sunscreen at home. Regular medication for diabetes or thyroid problems can cause the skin to become overly sensitive as a side effect. In addition, two doctors suggested that sunscreen should be used at home even if someone's home is exposed to strong sunlight.
• What to do in the corona atmosphere
• The primary condition of skin care is cleanliness. Wash and clean your face before applying sunscreen. In Corona situation, even if you come back from outside, you have to wash your hands, face and eyes with mild soap, you can't wait to say that again. Even if you go to Pujo market on a rainy day, don't forget to apply sunscreen. The skin is the mirror of a healthy body, take care of the skin, stay well.
