Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how skin type affects sunburn sensitivity in individuals with vitiligo, who have white patches in otherwise pigmented skin.
- Researchers used UVB lamps to expose both affected (lesional) and unaffected (non-lesional) skin in 33 vitiligo patients, categorizing them by skin type (II-VI).
- Findings indicate a correlation between skin type and UV sensitivity, suggesting there may be protective mechanisms beyond melanin, potentially involving antioxidant status.
