Hi it's good to see you back I'm glad the methotrexate is working and you are not getting too bad side effects ....shame it's not working on the inverse and guttate. But are managing it with creams
Good you have been so busy working on your degree
I hope your new business startup is going well and you will be successful
Regarding the sunburn I'm not sure what to advise as I've never used suncream myself as I have an olive skin but I'm sure someone will have wise words for you
Good luck for the future and thanks for updating

Could anyone please suggest the best sunscreen brand/SPF to prevent burning so easily? I have olive-toned skin. I've always been one to tan but not burn. If I did, it was once and then the rest of the summer I tanned. I DO NOT want to avoid the sun as I love to go swimming with my kids.

I've always used Banana Boat Everyday Sensitive SPF 50+ and have never had any issues, hope this helps.

Hi Snarky,
Welcome back!
You did a good job with the studies and starting a business!
I think Craig mentioned the best direction.
It is one of the annoying side effects of MTX.
Cheers,
Caroline

I dont want to be a scare monger, but I was told to under no uncertain terms to completely avoid any exposure to the sun as the risk of cancer is high while on MTX.
I took the chicken way out and stuck to the shade and when swimming wore a full sleeve rash vest. I'm not a big lover of sun creams.
When I did go into the sun I used a SPF50 cream that was 5star UVB.
Now I'm not an olive skin but I never burned throughout my adulthood. I always browned up quickly but did singe very easily on both MTX and Cyclosporine.
Sorry but my advice is keep to the shade or cover up.
Being miserable is better than getting cancer.
