Can I get sun exposure if I have spots around my mouth?
If the spots around the mouth are not caused by sun exposure, sunbathing is generally permissible. However, if they are caused by a skin condition, sun exposure is typically not recommended at that time. It is advisable to seek timely medical consultation, identify the underlying cause, and undergo symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician.
If the spots around the mouth are caused by factors unrelated to sun exposure, such as genetic predisposition, malnutrition, medication side effects, or endocrine disorders, and the nature of the spots does not worsen with sun exposure, patients may have limited sun exposure after taking adequate sun protection measures. However, it is important to control the duration and intensity of sun exposure within a safe range to avoid excessive exposure.
If the spots around the mouth are caused by skin conditions such as melasma, freckles, or other dermatological disorders, or if there are symptoms like skin damage, inflammation, or redness, direct exposure to sunlight should be avoided as much as possible. Ultraviolet radiation may exacerbate the condition, causing the spots to darken and expand in area, and potentially triggering skin inflammation. In such cases, strict sun protection measures should be taken, and treatment should be pursued under a doctor's guidance when necessary.
In daily life, patients should also maintain healthy lifestyle and dietary habits to support overall skin health.
