Dear Dr. {{$doctorName}},
Subject: Utilization
pattern of Sunscreens in real life scenario.
The term “Sunburn” is
self-explanatory; it is an acute reaction of skin to damage by UV
radiation. It can range from painless erythema (redness of the skin
due to congestion of the capillaries) to edema (swelling) to vesicle
and bullae formation. Unfortunately, when the skin is overexposed to
ultraviolet radiation there are numerous harmful effects that may
occur. The most noticeable is acute sunburn (solar erythema).
Initially, UV radiation causes vasodilation of skin blood vessels,
resulting in the characteristic erythema
.
Sunscreens have been
available since 1928 and play a major role in skin cancer prevention
and sun protection. Sunscreens have been increasingly making their
presence as a part of dermatological therapeutics. The primary use
of sunscreens is to protect the skin from the short-term (burning
and tanning) and long-term (photoaging and cancer) effects of UV
radiation.
Suncros which is the
sunscreen is marketed by the Rigel team of Sun Pharmaceuticals
Industries Ltd.
