▪ Abstract Sunlight exposure produces a variety of adverse cutaneous effects. Erythema, photosensitivity, and immunologic alterations represent acute events, whereas photoaging and carcinogenesis are long-term consequences. These adverse cutaneous sequelae can be minimized by photoprotection in the form of sun avoidance, regular cover-up with clothing,

Black skin, compared with white skin, is generally assumed to be more resistant to the consequences of sun exposure due to its epidermal melanin content. However, recent scientific evidence shows that black skin is not completely impervious to sunlight. Both clinical and -experimental data have reported sun-induced effects on black skin. Black skin can

Vitamin D is generally accepted in its importance on the regulation of calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. Moreover, further health effects due to vitamin D are under discussion. In its effect, vitamin D is more like a hormone. In the classic view, a vitamin is an essential nutrient, which cannot be synthesized independently in the body.
