Is everybody else putting sunscreen on their whole body?
Pretty much the title. I HATE having things on my skin, especially if they're oily/greasy. I tried to put up with sunscreen for a while but it bothered me too much (I tried a few brands). So I stopped putting it on my body and just did my face. Then that fizzled out too. My rheum insists that I should use it indoors and outside, my bf tells me to at least use it on my malar rash.
Would just putting it on my rash help reduce it at all? Is everybody else just ok with being greasy all over all the time? I do use UV blocking shirts pretty much all the time and long sleeves often. I ask because I feel like the skin on my malar rash is getting thicker, since starting Imuran I don't have sun sensitivity anywhere else.
