Sun sensitivity: Porphyria is a disease of hemoglobin metabolism where abnormal chemicals are produced in the body that are sensitive to ultraviolet light. In severe forms of porphyria, people get red teeth and lips, and it is believed that count dracula had porphyria, and could only go outdoors at night . It is likely that you have another form of sun sensitivity, so use a sunscreen, and use long sleeve shirts.
