Rheumatoid Arthritis meds increased sun sensitivity
Hello! I am on two RA meds (hydroxychloroquine and sulfasalazine) that cause my skin to be very sensitive to the sun, and I burn very quickly. This is my second summer being on them, and I had two bad facial sunburns last year, even with re-applying sunscreen often. I want to avoid getting another as much as possible!
I always wear sunglasses and try to stay out of the sun because I am also very pale, but I'm looking for a sunscreen, preferably one made for the face, that I'm planning to wear both in the shade and the occasions when I will be in the sun.
If it's helpful, I'm from New York State, and I would say I have sensitive, combination skin. I typically wear SPF 50, but am open to a higher SPF! I'm not picky about chemical/mineral. I just want to find something that works :)
