A member asked:

If i stay out of the sun for one whole year, what could happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lower vitamin D: If you avoid sun for one year, your skin will be its lightest in color. Your vitamin d levels may drop and you would be advised to take supplements of this essential vitamin. No other harm is likely.
