If you are allergic to the sun will get a rash all over body or just on face?
Sun allergy, also known as polymorphic light eruption (PMLE), is a common skin condition that causes a rash to develop after exposure to sunlight. The rash can appear on any part of the body, but it is most common on the face, neck, arms, and legs.
Symptoms of sun allergy can include:
* A red, itchy rash
* Small, raised bumps
* Blisters
* Swelling
* Pain
* Fever
* Headache
* Nausea
In most cases, the rash from sun allergy will clear up within a few days to a few weeks after you avoid sunlight. However, some people may experience more severe symptoms, such as blistering and scarring.
If you think you may have a sun allergy, it is important to see a doctor to get a diagnosis and treatment plan. Treatment for sun allergy may include:
* Avoiding sunlight
* Using sunscreen
* Taking oral antihistamines
* Applying topical corticosteroids
* Phototherapy
By following your doctor's instructions, you can help to prevent and treat sun allergy symptoms.
