Can Sun Exposure Cause Rashes And Itches?
Hello there, when i get hot like lay in the sun or go to the gym i seem to get itchy in some places i.e chest back arms neck and sometimes face. This seems to bring up red rashes with small white bumps in the centre but they will dissapear after aroung a hour. Do you have a clue what this could be and if there are any treatments i can try? thank you

Hi...thanks for sharing your problem here in this forum....
.the itch and rashes that you experience after going out in the sun shows that you got sun allergy...better to avoid long sun exposure...i will advise you to apply some steroids on these rashes like betnovit or synalar...also i will advise to apply sunblock when going out in the sun..hope with this you will be fine...thanks
