So I suffer from For lupus-related photosensitivity and every time my skin breaks, the scar heals white. This includes sunburns b/c they turn into scabs.

Finding the right sunscreen can be tricky, especially when you need high protection without the zombie look! For lupus photosensitivity, you'll want a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least 70 SPF that blocks both UVA and UVB Show Full Answer
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but in my case no sunscreen is effective in preventing the ugly rash that itches until you lose your mind and then scars your skin. For the last 25 years I never go outside without wearing heavy denim or leather sleeves, gloves, hat with full veil and very good sunglasses. Needless to say I rarely go outside in the summer because the heat of all that is intolerable. My skin also burns under fluorescent lights, those horrible curly bulbs and regular light bulbs if I’m directly in front of them. I’ve just learned to live in the dark. I wish you well and pray you have a different outcome.
