How Can Sunlight Allergy Be Treated?

I am very sensitive to heat, and just brief exposure to sun, and having perspiration run between my breasts and under the front edge of my bra can cause my skin to become rough and bumpy--although not swollen. Sometimes have same problem with the back of my neck and top of my shoulders. I have been prescribed this by a dermatologist to make the bumps go away, as well as to apply AmLactin at night to any skin exposed to sunlight. Through the years I have taken drugs that caused side effects--often, but not always a rash. I have an English/Irish/Scottish heritage, and am susceptible to skin cancer. As long as I apply it correctly and notice no side effects, should applying this cream be safe for me?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Madam, application of this cream is absolutely safe. But the problem is sensitivity to sun rays. For this avoid direct exposure to sun rays. Wear white clothing out doors because the body is exposed to less heat. Use umbrella in sun light. Avoid out door ventures in temperature above 75 degrees F. Get your thyroid studies done, that may also give us the cause of your severe sweating. Hopefully your problem will resolve.
