I remember being under 18 when one summer after a multi-day hike in the mountains, my legs became swollen and the skin was covered in huge, red, raised welts accompanied by excruciating pain . I ended up in the emergency room of a small town that I don’t remember with my legs bandaged and with an unusual first diagnosis in those years:
-He is allergic to the sun, he cannot be exposed to ultraviolet rays.
– Me: Excuse me, what do you say?
18 years old, all day in shorts or a bikini and wanting to look tanned like any girl from the 80’s. That was the beginning of some hellish summers, where areas of my body were revealed as soon as I was in the sun and they were more numerous every year: the neckline, the arms, the shoulders, the belly, the thighs, the face! The third day of vacation was spent lying in bed like a paella, smeared with creams, taking corticosteroids and without being able to rub against my clothes and crying like a cupcake (especially because I couldn’t be tan). Even if I didn’t literally lie down to sunbathe, just walking, living outdoors… it was enough for the allergy not to forgive me and every year it reappeared on my skin with more violence .
Every summer I went through various treatments , pills, creams, UVA rays, yes rays! Years ago, dermatologists prescribed it as a preventive measure (a few rays to get the skin used to before the holidays), something that was discovered a few years ago to be an aberration and that cabin UVA rays are carcinogenic. They are prohibited in many countries, a pending issue for ours.
It took me a long time to get used to this ailment, and above all to listen to the tagline every time I came back from the summer:
–Wow, haven’t you gone on vacation? You’re white!– .
In the end I learned to have my white skin, to coexist with the sun and take its measure . Until a few years ago, sun protection clothing did not exist, not even the typical water sports t-shirts. So I dressed with my own inventions, scarves accompanied by mittens, hats, long sleeves… I learned a lot about fabrics , putting on a cotton T-shirt on the beach the allergy came out the same, I discovered that natural fabrics let solar radiation pass , and the semi-transparent kaftans I don’t even tell you. This is one of the reasons why UPF clothing is made of polyesters, they have a very tight weave capable of blocking them – it does not mean that all polyesters are UPF.
The allergy that I was diagnosed with is called PLE, Polymorphic Light Eruption , and it affects one in six women in Europe. It is not serious but it is very annoying and once it appears, it can take days to disappear. Every year there are more cases. The sun is becoming more and more harmful and there is already scientific evidence that the damage it causes to our skin is not only irreparable, but also adds up every summer.
It is absolutely essential to protect the little ones because a burn in childhood is a possible melanoma in the future. This sadly is also scientific evidence.
Every year more than 7000 new cases of melanoma are detected in Spain, increasingly in younger people, and 90% of cases could be avoided with good sun education.
