WELL…IF THE SUN IS TEMPTING YOU THIS SUMMER– BAYLOR SCOTT AND WHITE DERMATOLOGIST KATIE FIALA CAUTIONS HER PATIENTS NOT TO LET THAT DISCOURAGE THEM.
SHE SAYS SOMETIMES PATIENTS WHO EXPERIENCED SUNBURNS AS KIDS COME IN WITH THE ATTITUDE THAT ‘THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE- SO WHY START PROTECTING THEIR SKIN NOW?
BUT SHE SAYS THAT CONTRADICTS THE RESULTS SHE SEES IN HER PRACTICE.

And I've seen patients who were coming in and getting skin cancers taking off every year. They started really being diligent with sun protection and the numbers started to decrease. And so it can definitely make a difference down the road.

FIALA SAYS FOR BEST RESULTS- STAY OUT OF THE SUN BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 10 A.M. AND 2 P.M., WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, AND A FULL SPECTRUM S-P-F.
