I’m going on two years since my PV diagnosis. Taking 500mg of hydroxyurea 4x weekly. Had not heard or read about any issues with sun exposure related to this condition until now. Is it the PV or the medication that causes extra risk from the sun? I’m in a high altitude and lotsa sun area (NM) and I spend a lot of time outdoors. Any advice/ suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
