Definitely continue with sunscreen rather than trying things like coconut oil or honey. These do nothing to block the UVA/UVB rays which are what damages your skin and cause skin cancer. Increased sensitivity to the sun is a known side effect of hydroxyurea.

Of course. The coconut and honey are only for hydration pre-bed time. 100+ sunscreen (zink) during the days.
