yes, I would get maybe spf 40 or 50 and be generous in applying. Wear hat and long sleeve blouses and pants, and don't forget sunblock on feet when wearing sandals....

@1995victoria
Great advice. I’ve been on hydroxyurea since 2018
and have developed multiple skin cancers, several requiring MOHS
surgery. I avoid the sun, always wear spf 50 and
add a hat if I’m outdoors.
My dr doesn’t want to switch me to another @ since this one works so well to control my PV
I wish there was a bed to prevent skin cancers!
