I have stable vitiligo patches that burn very easily during summer. I heard vitiligo patients get medical tattoos to hide their patches, however I'm not bothered with the difference in color but with the missing UV protection. Is there something like (semi-)permanent UV protection for the skin ? Maybe similar to a tattoo ? I'm open to any suggestion. Thanks !

<p>Thank you for reaching out to us. In answer to your question you might want to consult a Dermatologist for your question on the protection similar to a tattoo. I can however recommend a good sunscreen , the brand is EltaMD and their <a href="/eltamd-uv-sport-broad-spectrum-spf50-tube/11370299.html?utm-source=ate-cr">UV Sport Broad Spectrum SPF 50 </a>will give you excellent coverage. I hope this helps, have a nice day! Cyndee, Dermstore Esthetician </p>
