Why should the sun be avoided during the treatment of variegated dandruff and will short-term exposure also be harmful?

I bought Versic emulsion and shampoo and clotrimazole to deal with variegated dandruff. In the product leaflet it is written to avoid exposure to UV rays. Perhaps this is a stupid question, but due to the time, the beginning of summer and the difficult possibility of avoiding this sun, I would like to ask why the sun should be avoided and whether short-term exposure will also be harmful? I would like to start treatment, but I am a little afraid because of the very sunny time.

Dandruff versicolor, like most skin diseases, reacts negatively to excessive exposure to solar radiation. People who suffer from tinea versicolor should certainly not sunbathe it, because the sun can lead to exacerbation of symptoms and inhibition of the effectiveness of the treatment. During this period, you should use cosmetics with a high filter, preferably SPF 50, e.g. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/108258/la-roche-posay-anthelios-ultra-nawilzajacy-krem-spf-50-krem/apteki It is worth betting on specially selected dermocosmetics. They are able to actually affect the condition of the skin and significantly improve it. In addition, dermocosmetics also protect against solar radiation and help maintain the proper degree of skin hydration. Thanks to this, it does not lose moisture, and thus does not overdry, and its condition does not deteriorate. It is also worth covering the parts of the body that are affected by the disease, often moisturizing the affected skin and remembering to drink the right amount of water to moisturize from the inside.
