With my thyroid and skin issues, I've realized my body is very sensitive to extreme temperatures. Direct sun usually flares up my skin rashes. It is always best to consult your doctor and get regular blood tests done to see if there is any underlying deficiency causing dry skin.
At this age, my skin already has a mind of its own. When I tried sitting in the sun for my rashes, I just ended up with sunburn on top of my eczema. Save yourself the trouble and use a doctor-recommended moisturizer instead.
Honestly, I barely get enough sleep, let alone time to sit in the sun. But the few times I got stuck in the afternoon heat, my skin became a red itchy mess. Safe to say, harsh sun is definitely not a friend to my eczema.
Eczema skin is very delicate, ho na? Direct sun heat can cause a lot of redness and burning. It is better to use a mild cold compress to soothe the skin instead of going in the hot sun.
Don't believe these online influencers telling you that sun exposure cures all skin diseases. Too much sun can burn sensitive eczema skin and cause major issues. Always verify with a proper medical doctor first.
Eczema can react very unpredictably to UV rays and heat. What works for one person might cause severe skin damage or infection in another. Please get it checked by a qualified skin specialist before trying any sun therapy.
Actually, peak afternoon sun is very bad for eczema, yaar. The heat makes you sweat and then the itching starts. If you want to try, just do it during early morning for a few minutes only.

Standing in the peak Indian sun for eczema is like trying to put out a fire with petrol. You'll just end up sweating and scratching like crazy. Better to stick to the AC and let the dermatologist handle it!
Since managing my diabetes, I've learned that skin healing takes much longer if there's any infection. Harsh sun and sweating can worsen eczema patches and lead to cracked skin, which is risky. Be very gentle with your skin.
A tiny dose of gentle morning sun is wonderful for natural vitamin D! Just keep your skin well-hydrated and wear soft cotton clothes to stay comfortable.
