My skin is bubbling again
I went outside for half an hour today and my hands are bubbling with welts again. Does anyone else have allergies to the sun?

No reason... just askin'.

Seriously though, you probably want to see a doctor.

2. I get a rash on my forearms but nothing major
Springtime sun is the worst according to what I read on the internet. Something about the angle of the sun....I don't remember.

I went and got tested for lupus as that can be a symptom but I don't have that.

I just try to limit my exposure in the spring and always but on heavy duty sunscreen. Does sunscreen help you?

3. I've heard about that. You need to be careful and get to a Dr. so you
can be prepared on how to take care of your self.

5. I got giant blisters from the sun once
About three inches across and fairly painless. Even on my back through my light cotton dress. No burn, just blisters. Never happened again. Is this like what you have?

6. I had a problem when I was younger, ended up with welts on my
arms and chest when I went to Hawaii. That was almost 20 years ago, these days I can be out in the sun all day with no problem.
