| Allergic Reactions from the Sun | | By Daniel More, MD | Did you get a little too much sun this holiday weekend? Maybe you or someone you know woke up with a rash today after a long weekend of sun in the fun? There are a number of different allergic reactions that can occur as a result of sun exposure. Find out all about these skin rashes and what to do about them! | |
Is There Such a Thing as a Sun Allergy?  | | In my practice, I often encounter people who think they have a sun allergy. With exposure to sunlight, they experience symptoms such as itching, hives, or burning. Some have visible rashes while others don't. Some have a medical condition which makes them more sensitive to sunlight; others use various medications or topical agents that cause a reaction on the skin when exposed to sun. | | | | |
| Allergic Reactions While At The Beach | | Most people who live or vacation near the coast spend time at the beach during the summer months. The sunny weather, warm sand, and cool ocean or lake water make the beach a popular attraction. While time spent at the beach is a joy for most people, others may experience allergic reactions while at the beach. Despite the ocean breezes blowing onshore keeping the pollen further inland, other causes of allergies may still be present at the beach. | | | | |
| Sunscreen Allergy | | Over the past 20 years, the dangers of sun exposure have been recognized, from sun-damaged skin to skin cancer. As a result, the use of sunscreens has become a routine part of our daily lives. This has led to various allergic reactions to the chemicals found in sunscreens. Most of these allergic reactions represent contact dermatitis. | | | | |
