Doubtful: The bite sites may get darker from the sun exposure. Unless you get a 3rd degree burn, it shouldn't be a scarring issue. However do wear sunscreen (spf 15-30)with both uva/uvb protection since you will still tan nearly as well but will keep your skin more youthful in the long run. Thought i had answered this question with somewhat different wordings or am i getting too forgetful already?
