A superfície cutânea possui mecanismos de defesa para reduzir o impacto das radiações solares 5 , entretanto o excesso de exposição diária durante as práticas desportivas aumentam a incidência de lesões tegumentares desencadeadas pelo sol 4,6 . Além disso, existem fatores que predispõem o desenvolvimento de doenças de pele, como os aspectos genéticos e raciais, agravados pelos hábitos solares e condições ambientais 4,5,7 .…”
