No I don't care about getting a tan, it just happens and I end up with a brown head, face and arms. The rest is like a little pink piggy

Nope, I don't care about a tan either!  I mention getting more of one this year due to being outdoors more often than I have been in years

But getting sun is similar for a psoriasis patient as getting light therapy..  And getting sun leads to some people getting tan, others getting red and some not getting either.  I think that's kind of where the conversation headed.

Sun is also one way to get Vit D, of course not the only way.  So there are benefits.  Also risks.  (This is me trying to stay on topic since I think I was leading it away)

Glad to know I’m not the only one. The only tan I get is from walking the dogs. I never found that being outside in the sun helped much with the psoriasis much, but I guess it does help some.

I feel asleep in a hammock once after swimming… I looked like a tan and pink checkerboard for about a week.

I haven't noticed it helping either.

When I was a teenager and tanning was just something we did, I was laying out in the sun and fell asleep... with my hand on my stomach so I had a handprint for quite a long time.
