A member asked:
What to do if i have an illeostomy bag and i was wondering if i can go tanning for my upcoming dance season. what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consider the risks: The ileostomy bag is no obstacle to tanning, but remember that excessive UV exposure, such as in a tanning both or prolonged sun, can increase the chance of melanoma. The incidence is increasing rapidly in the US. Melanoma can make an ileostomy seem like a minor inconvenience.
