Also, wear a white brim hat and loose cotton clothes. If you are going outside in the sun, use summer coats and a cotton scarf to cover your skin. It is also very important to protect your skin from rashes, summer boils and similar skin problems which are common in the summer.

Take showers two times daily and wear loose cotton clothes, and if you face any issue then consult your physician soon.
