Anyone can get sunspots, but they tend to first appear in early adulthood and are more prevalent after the age of 40. More than 90 per cent of Caucasians have at least one sunspot. Most people describe them as appearing overnight having not noticed them before. The heat from burning cigarettes and the facial muscle movements associated with smoking contribute to wrinkles. In some patients these can go on to a type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma so should be treated by various means including topical creams such as 5 FU, surgical removal or freezing. • Birthmarks Yet some immune dampening may be beneficial, helping to temper overactive immune responses. Possibly, our immune systems even have evolved with this mildly immune-suppressive input from sunlight wired in.

More severe cases of sunburn produce painful blisters, sometimes together with nausea and dizziness. Actinic keratosis— This is a tiny bump that feels like sandpaper or a small, scaly patch of sun-damaged skin that has a pink, red, yellow or brownish tint. Unlike suntan markings or sunburns, an actinic keratosis does not usually go away unless it is frozen, chemically treated or removed by a doctor. An actinic keratosis develops in areas of skin that have undergone repeated or long-term exposure to the sun's UV light, and it is a warning sign of increased risk of skin cancer. About 10% to 15% of actinic keratoses eventually change into squamous cell cancers of the skin. As evidence mounts for these potentially beneficial effects of sunlight, so do calls for a rethink of public health advice on how best to stay safe in the sun.

You might wear one of those disposal masks worn by pedestrians and cyclists in polluted cities. Vitamin D is manufactured in our bodies when the UVB rays in sunlight react with a chemical in the skin called 7-dehydrocholesterol. Bone and muscle cells use it to regulate levels of calcium and phosphorus, which are needed to keep them strong and healthy, while immune cells also use it to help fend off harmful microbes and promote wound repair. Vitamin D receptors are also found on other body tissues including the heart and brain, and in recent years the list of illnesses associated with vitamin D deficiency has grown to include cardiovascular disease, infections and cancer.
