Tanning addiction in psoriasis patients

[Kat]

I'm lucky I go brown easily, but I still be careful about the amount of sun I get.

I used to tan easy, but I have to watch at the beginning not to get too much at once or I get a little burned. I was a touch red but it has since turned brownish.

I've avoided too much sun for the past few years but honestly.... I think a little sun is good and now people are a bit afraid of getting it as it's not the thing to do. You don't see a bunch of tanned people here like you used to, most tend to use a lot of sunblock if out in the sun. I would use sunblock if I were going to a lake or pool but for just outside, I prefer to change into a shirt that covers my shoulders, put on a hat, change into some light weight pants or simply go inside and say I'm done for the day if I feel I'm starting to burn
