Granuloma annulare?: Given you have diabetes might be granuloma annulare. See below for general information. (although multiple other possibilities including dermatitis, dermatomyositis etc). http://www.dermnetnz.org/topics/granuloma-annulare To get a specific diagnosis need to consult a doctor licensed in your area and either examine or show pictures. All the best

Photosensitivity?: It is hard to be accurate without seeing the rash. Rash that occurs in areas that are exposed to sun are called photosensitive rashes. Granuloma annulare is one of these rashes. Are you taking any other medications or topical preparations that might predispose you to getting a photosensitivity reaction? e.g. tetracyclines, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, cosmetics/disinfectants on the hands
