I set infront of a large window at work 8 hours a day, the sun comes in a lot its winter time so its never hot but the sun is bright enough for me to squint some times. If im sitting facing this direct light for 8 hours can the sun coming through the window cause sunburn? I havent been applying any sunscreen as its winter and i don't go out side when the sun is out normally. Tonight i noticed my lips felt a bit tight and my face was a bit more flush and red.
I've been on Accutane for a month now and a few days ago I got sunburned. My legs and my stomach are really red and I'm not sure how I can help my skin to heal. I put on some moisturizing creme (Nivea Soft Intense). Will that help me? What can I do to make the redness go away? Thank you in advance!
It has been 3-4 years after accutane and I continue to have severe lip sunburn. This did not occur prior to accutane and since taking it, my lips get severe sun burn. It usually takes a week to heal after getting severely red and getting blisters on my lips. I have tried to use sunscreen chap stick and reapply. It helps a little, but does not solve the issue. Please help, this is a major inconvenience and I deal with this multiple times every year.
Hi, I am a soccer player and am in the sun for multiple practices a week. My doctor recommended accutane but I am worried about getting sun burnt. I am pretty tan now and usually dont burn easy but i spend 2-3 hours in the sun practicing multiple times a week and play in tournaments in the summer. Should I take accutane?
I've been off of Accutane for about 2 and a half month now and I'm on vacation in Florida. My doctor told me to be careful in the sun because my skin is still sensitive to the sunlight. I put on face lotion with sunscreen before I went out to the beach and on my body but now I'm burnt pretty bad and my face is blotchy. Is this permanent? I keep applying lotion and aloe all over and on my face which seems to be helping a bit. I plan on staying out of the sun. Is there anything else I should do?
I've been on Accutane for about 3 months. Unfortunately, I got badly sunburned last week while playing golf. To make matters worse, I went running this morning in pants. Now my legs have many small blisters or little air pockets! What should I do? Have I caused permanent damage?
I've read a few medical articles that have found no photosensitivity in patients on Accutane, but there are stories all over the internet of people who got horrible sun burns and blisters even after getting off Accutane. My question is, from a medical perspective, how long after Accutane does photosensitivity go away/improve? Thank you.
About 8 months ago, I got a severe 2nd degree sun burn on face while on Accutane. It healed right after but a few months later skin on face is very sensitive and has red scar marks all over where the burn was.It has been 8 months and it does not look like it is healing. I just don't know what to think or what to do. Any advice would be greatly apreciated. Thank you.
Hi, I took accutane for 6 months while I was 15 years old. It was a horrible experience, but it did help my complexion after the 6 months ended. This itch occurs around 48 hours after the sunburn and it is absolutely terrible. Ive read multiple articles about this type of its and I believe a common term is hells itch. Its a fitting name. So, can this new itch after a sunburn be a result of the accutane? Ive been off the medication for 4 years.
