White spots on the skin after sun exposure: what is the cause and how to react?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our skin is home to thousands of tiny bacteria that require careful attention: the \u201cskin microbiome.\u201d However, these microscopic bacteria can sometimes cause problems, especially when we sunbathe. If you notice small white or reddish spots after sunbathing, it could be a condition called\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>tinea versicolor<\/span><\/em>\u00a0\u00a0or\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>pityriasis versicolor<\/span><\/em>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Dr. Lee, the yeasts living on our skin thrive\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0in warm, humid environments<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0. This makes it a veritable playground for them in the summer! Some of these yeasts can proliferate and manifest as small spots on the skin.\u00a0 While\u00a0<\/span>asymptomatic and harmless<\/span><\/strong> , they can prevent the skin from tanning in certain areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Easy to treat, sometimes a simple cream is all it takes. According to the dermatologist, you should look for products containing\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>clotrimazole or miconazole<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0. In more extreme cases, the expert recommends consulting a dermatologist, who can prescribe more intensive treatments. If you are prone to this condition, don\u2019t hesitate to prepare your skin before next summer\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>by using antifungal cleansers<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0, the dermatologist advises.<\/span><\/p>\n
