Photosensitivity
in the wee hours of March 4th, 2007Do not apply perfumes, colognes or aftershave lotions before venturing into the sun as they may cause semi-permanent brown spots on your skin. Be wary of medications and the sun as some can make you especially susceptible to sunburn eg. tetracycline, diuretics and some antibiotics.
Oral contraceptives have been known to cause some women to develop a very unattractive pattern of brown blotches around the eyes from exposure to the sun.
Certain foods can promote photosensitizing such as citrus fruits and vanilla.
