Re: tinea versicolor or permanent damage?

You could be experiencing something because your skin just doesn't have the same kind of resistance to sunlight as the rest of the family. Keep using your sun block. You don't have much to worry about just yet, but in a few years you'll have to start using something that will help keep your skin young looking. Tanning can cause wrinkles and discolorations, so you will need a cleanser or moisturizer that will help build up the collagen in the skin. Again, the best way to prevent skin problems from appearing early on in life is to avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreens with SPF's 15 or higher.
