Renowned dermatologist Dr Reem Al-Hamad has advised the public to avoid long exposure to the sun during summer to avoid certain diseases like freckles and skin cancer, reports Al-Seyassah daily.
Al-Hamad pointed out the sun is considered an ‘enemy’ of the skin, especially in summer; hence, the need to use sun block or sunscreen and avoid exposure to the sun for long hours.  She said other skin problems common during summer include sweaty armpits and acne.  She recommended the regular use of cream, scrub and cleansing lotions or liquids to maintain healthy skin.
