Doctor can evaluate: With such skin symptoms, one question that comes up is whether the symptoms are due no typical sunburn effects, or due to some medication or internal problem that is causing the skin to overreact to sunlight. A primary care doctor or a dermatologist can evaluate to see what the actual cause might be.

Many possibilities: You may have sun hypersensitivity or photosensitivity. This may sometimes be related to an underlying skin disorder such as rosacea or may be caused by a product you are using such as Retin-A or tretinoin or retinal, oral antibiotics, other medications known to cause photosensitivity, or you may just have sensitive skin.
