A member asked:
Is there a sunscreen that also allows you to tan? i seem to get blistering from the sun and dr says none of meds would make me susceptible like that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sunscreen: Let your blistering be a warning to you. Your exposure to sun despite sun block makes you vulnerable to melanoma
