What could be more pleasant than looking in the mirror and noticing the appearance of a lovely\u00a0<\/span>tan<\/span>\u00a0, not only on our face but also on the rest of our body, after a good nap in the sun (without forgetting our\u00a0<\/span>sunscreen<\/span>\u00a0)? Yes, but sometimes this tanning session doesn\u2019t go quite as planned.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, some people sometimes notice the appearance of small white or reddish spots on their skin, making their tan uneven. Dr. Sandra Lee, an American dermatologist, explained in a short TikTok video the cause of this condition and how to treat it. <\/span><\/p>\n

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 \u201d\u00a0<\/span>skin microbiome<\/span>\u00a0.\u201d However, these microscopic bacteria can sometimes cause problems, especially after sun exposure. If you notice small white or reddish spots after sunbathing, it could be a condition called\u00a0<\/span>tinea versicolor<\/span><\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>pityriasis versicolor<\/span><\/em>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Dr. Lee, the yeasts living on our skin thrive\u00a0<\/span>in 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. While\u00a0<\/span>asymptomatic and harmless<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0, 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<\/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<\/span>by using antifungal cleansers<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0, the dermatologist advises.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before taking action on these small white spots, however, it is advisable to consult your doctor, who can rule out other potential skin problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
