What Causes Inflammation And Redness In The Eye?

My forearms, beginning last night, have been extremely sensitive to touch, responding to such stimulus as sunburn would. Also, there is a rising level of visibility for the skin becoming blotched red, as if it is inflamed. I m on accutane, which increases sun sensitivity, but my arms were not exposed to any more sun (very minimal) than my face, neck, etc., which burn quicker under normal circumstances. I work with chemicals that have caused patches of bad eczema, maybe it is a chemical burn? Please help, any insight is appreciated
