  How do you know if you have a sun allergy? It’s simple: after sun exposure, your skin is red and itchy. Sun allergy (or lucite, as it is medically known) manifests itself as redness: a rash of small, slightly raised red pimples or papules and itchy sensations where your skin has been exposed to the sun. It is most often found on exposed areas such as the neckline, shoulders, arms, back of hands and feet. There are several forms of sun allergy. […] Polymorphous light eruption is the most common form of sun allergy. It mostly affects young women, mainly on the neckline, but it can affect any other area that has been exposed, with the notable exception of the face. The reaction occurs after the first or second exposure to the sun in the summer. It may ruin your life for a week, but it has the advantage (if you can call it that!) of not recurring after further exposure to the sun in the same season, as if the skin had got used to the sun. That being said, polymorphous light eruption will probably come back each year.

  Sun allergy causes rashes of itchy red bumps after even mild sun exposure. Sun allergy is a term used to describe conditions in which the skin develops a rash after sun exposure. Doctors still don’t fully understand what causes sun allergy, but it is thought that UV light modifies a substance in the skin, which the immune system reacts to, resulting in the skin becoming inflamed (red, angry, itchy, or blistered). By far the most common form of sun allergy is called polymorphous light eruption (PLE). The most common manifestation comes in the form of crops of small, red, itchy spots. They tend to appear on the neckline, shoulders, arms and legs as well as the instep. The face is often unaffected. They usually appear 12 hours after exposure. Some people get blisters that later form dry red patches (similar to eczema). Less commonly, the red blotches can look like targets or bulls eyes. Polymorphous light eruption affects up to 10% of people. The rash should go away on its own within a couple of weeks with the right protection.

[…] People develop itchy eruptions or areas of redness and inflammation on patches of sun-exposed skin. […] These reactions typically resolve without treatment. […] Photosensitivity reactions include solar urticaria, chemical photosensitization, and polymorphous light eruption and are usually characterized by an itchy eruption on patches of sun-exposed skin. […] Hives (large, itchy red bumps or welts) that develop after only a few minutes of exposure to sunlight are called solar urticaria. […] The hives typically last for minutes or hours. […] People with large affected areas sometimes have headaches and wheezing and feel dizzy, weak, and nauseated. […] In phototoxicity, people have pain and develop redness, inflammation, and sometimes brown or blue-gray discoloration in areas of skin that have been exposed to sunlight for a brief period.

  These symptoms resemble those of sunburn, but the reaction differs from sunburn in that it occurs only after the person has swallowed certain medications or chemical compounds or has applied them to the skin. […] In photoallergy, an allergic reaction causes redness, scaling, itching, and sometimes blisters and spots that resemble hives. […] The eruption appears as multiple red bumps and irregular, red, raised areas (called plaques) and, rarely, as blisters on sun-exposed skin. […] These plaques, which are itchy, typically appear 30 minutes to several hours after sun exposure. […] The eruption usually goes away within several days to weeks. […] Typically, people with this condition who continue to go out in the sun gradually become less sensitive to the effects of sunlight (a process known as hardening).

  Sun allergy reactions appear several days after UV exposure, while phototoxic reactions typically show up within a few minutes or hours. […] If you aren’t sure what’s causing your photosensitivity, or you have a severe reaction, see a dermatologist. You should also make an appointment if your skin blisters or if you have flu-like symptoms such as fever and nausea, which may be signs of a second-degree sunburn. […] In mild cases, applying an over-the-counter corticosteroid cream can help relieve symptoms such as itching. For a more severe sun rash, your dermatologist may prescribe a stronger corticosteroid cream, or a brief course of an oral corticosteroid such as prednisone. Hydroxychloroquine, a drug used to treat malaria, may be prescribed in certain circumstances, such as if you have PMLE. […] If you have PLME, you probably have the worst symptoms the first time you go out in the sun when the weather turns nice. After that, the reactions become milder as your skin gets used to the UV rays.

  A sun allergy is a relatively rare condition caused by exposure to the sun. It can cause itching, burning, stinging, and hives on sun-exposed skin. Also known as solar urticaria, a sun allergy usually develops quickly but can also go away quickly once you get out of the sun. […] In rare cases, solar urticaria can cause a life-threatening allergic response called anaphylaxis that can’t be treated with antihistamines. Because of this, it is usually recommended to limit sun exposure if you have a history of solar urticaria. […] Some sun allergies have nothing to do with the sun. Instead, they are caused when basking in the sun causes the body to overheat. Known as cholinergic urticaria, this form of allergy causes symptoms similar to solar urticaria but can affect covered parts of the body as well as uncovered parts.

  Polymorphic lucite is less common but more troublesome, in that it affects any exposed area, including the face, and occurs after every exposure, whether at the beginning, middle or end of the summer. This type of sun allergy will also probably come back in subsequent years. […] Sun allergy also affects children. Juvenile spring eruption in particular is a form of sun allergy that affects the ears of children and adolescents, more often boys than girls, and often during a stay in the mountains. […] Finally, solar urticaria is triggered within a few minutes of exposure and disappears spontaneously in the shade after a few minutes or hours, depending on the individual. It results in the appearance of thick, red, itchy patches, similar to nettle stings. […] Lucite affects about 10% of adults, with significantly more women affected, making up 90% of cases. Most people affected are young adults. The allergy may occur for a few years and then disappear completely.

  Yes, people can develop an allergic reaction to the sun called polymorphic light eruption (PLE). This causes a delayed skin reaction after exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, typically from the sun. People with PLE often experience a rash and itching. […] Each exposure to sunlight can trigger the recurrence of a sun allergy rash, which tends to subside after two to five days. […] Sun allergy is a common condition that affects up to 10 per cent of the population. Women and people with fair skin are more prone to PLE, which is most prevalent in regions with distinct seasons, such as northern climates. […] The best defense against PLE is to block as much sunlight from reaching the skin’s surface as possible to prevent the return of symptoms. […] To help relieve the itchy rash caused by PLE, apply cortisone creams or ointments. In more severe cases, patients may be referred to our Phototherapy Clinic at the Vancouver General Hospital Skin Care Centre for desensitization or light-hardening treatments.

  Solar urticaria usually develops in the third decade of life and becomes a chronic disease. The symptoms are managed with a range of treatments, but remission relies on a phenomenon known as „hardening” and is not achieved by all patients. This is the process where continued exposure to ultraviolet radiation decreases the likelihood of attacks. The probability of spontaneous resolution has been estimated as being 15% at 5 years and 25% at 10 years after the onset of the condition. […] Overall, the prognosis for patients with severe urticaria is poor. Many patients are restricted indoors and lead a poor quality of life.
