A member asked:

I am 'allergic' to the sun, skin gets inflamed and rash breaks out if exposed for long periods of time. my doctor said jus use allegra, (fexofenadine) is that right?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: There are rashes associated with sun exposure, particularly lupus. If the rash persists see a dermatologist. If it is very transient, there is no issue.
