Sunscreen lotion is it a must

2022-05-05 13:00:57
Lots of opinion on this, by different doctors, kindly enlighten us on this... Is sunscreen must for Indian skin in India, in Bangalore climate... I am asking for all ages. Will we get cancer or any other skin diseases if we don't apply it ... Our forefathers and Even our grandparents have never used it...so is it a must for this generation, due to the climate changes and other changes... Kindly respond

Yes, sunscreen is mandatory. Not for cancer per se, but there is a lot of unnoticed damage which requires sun protection espicially in skin of colour.
