      That's because of a substance called bergapten, which is present in citric fruits like the lemon. When we eat a lemon or drink its juice, the bergapten is transfered to our skin, enhancing its sensibility. The ultraviolet rays, then, can burn the skin faster if it is exposed to the Sun, causing dark spots to appear. Blisters and inflammation can also arise.
