A member asked:
I seem to have an allergic reaction to the light outdoors. even with no sunshine. is this possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is possible: Sensitivity to light that causing burning, stinging, or even a rash like hives, welts, redness or blisters can happen to some people. Some causes are relatively benign like solar urticaria (hives from sunlight), but some causes can be more serious like lupus or xeroderma pigmentosa. I would have a dermatologist check this out for you. Additional testing may be needed.
