Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve always felt sensitive to the sun and I sunburn easy. I just got lab work results that tested positive for lupus. I will not get to see a rheumatologist until next year. I have many questions. I work with children and have field trips to attend in a few weeks and I am wondering if I should go or just avoid being in the heat all together
Certain guidelines for your case: • No need to require to be home bound • Always use sunscreen lotion before going to excess heat (minor sunrays as that of early morning do not require any lotion) • Cover your body fully with preferably white, cotton, airy clothes till possible in sun (as there will be least absorption of sunrays) • Maintain hydration levels with plenty of liquids, organic citrus fruits • Oral intake of antioxidants, vitamin C, A supplements work empirically • Umbrellas in extreme cases also work a lot
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
