The sun issue is due to being on hydroxyurea. Your skin is more prone to certain types skin cancers.

Yea, being on this medication is a game changer for me. I love the beach and pool and live in TX. This is my first summer avoiding the sun and I’m struggling finding things to do. It’s so hot, I need to adjust and I have to just be grateful the meds are working. I am getting small brown spots from the meds also which is a common thing 🙄
