UV Allergy

Yes! I have it. After so many many years of getting bad rashes after being in the sun for a prolonged period of time, I finally went to the doctor with all the products that gave me hives. I thought that it was a chemical allergy, but he said it's UV intolerance and there's pretty much nothing that could be done. Even if I do not apply, I will still get it.

Sunlight, even without drugs, causes immediate urticaria in some people. This may be a symptom of porphyria—a genetic metabolic defect.

Mine is not immediate but soon enough. Talk about a seaside vacation. Sigh!
