Ive been getting a sun/heat rash, and i think its from my birth control causing sun sensitivity. is this correct, and what can i do about this?

Sunscreen!: Birth control can definitely cause sun sensitivity. The best thing you can do to counteract that is to wear sunscreen with spf of at least 30, and wear sunglasses, hats, clothing to keep you you covered.
