My treatment is going to be over by the end of April and I might go on a vacation on May. How long after is safe to start lying under sun ? Of course I wear sunscreen but I don't want to risk ruining my skin . I won't do it if it's dangerous And my skin gets tan really fast . The previous summer was horrible I couldn't get sun or swim. So I was hoping next summer. But my vacation is shortly after I finish my last treatment. What should I do ?
