Reaction to sun: May be sun poisoning/sensitivity. . Avoid extended exposure to sun, use sunscreen wear hats, cover up in the sun. Sometimes medications like doxycycline, NSAIDS may make one more sensitive to sunlight rarely may be related to lupus or porphyria. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sun-allergy/basics/symptoms/con-20035077 f/u/ w/ dermatology.
