Are Scars Adversely Affected Because Of Exposure To The Sun While Swimming?
Hello, I have a scar on my face on my cheek an inch below my eye, that I received through a traumatic accident, it s been around 5 months now and I ve been using a scar gel called kelo cote. My current question here is am I permitted to go swimming in the sea? Or swimming at all? Can too much sun exposure do any harm?

Hi,
I am sorry for the car accident you had.
Kelo cote will help restore the normal skin without scar.
You can go swimming in the sea, but avoid :
- exposure to strong sunlight
- exposure for too long
Should use sunscreen cream with SPF 50+ with highest level of protection. Use round hats to avoid direct sunlight.
Hope this helps.
