Minimal erythema dose in UV‐shielded and UV‐exposed skin predicted by skin reflectance measured pigmentation

Aims: To investigate the relationships between epidermal thickness, age, skin pigmentation and UV sensitivity in sun‐exposed skin and skin not exposed to the sun in healthy people without skin cancer or skin diseases.
