Guest guest Posted March 17, 2001 Report Share Posted March 17, 2001 Hi Alice and everyone -- As always, Alice, you're the voice of common sense and experience. I've got Swedish skin, so thin that it's almost transparent. No wonder I got a sun allergy -- my ancestors probably never saw the strong stuff we get in the middle of CA! (Actually a diagnosis I got once, to add to the list of the bizarre names we've all had applied to us: " typical Irish-Swedish skin, aggravated by rosacea. " Go figure.)

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2001 Report Share Posted March 18, 2001 I am blonde, fair skinned - grew up on the beach, lots of sun. In recent years I am more wise about the sun. I only have P on my scalp. However, for the past several if I get much sun (not too much, but am on the beach, or pool, etc.) my legs from the knees down get a rash. Slightly raised, not very itchy but a bit. An only on my legs, knees down. I though it might be a sun allergy, but I do not get it anywhere else. Could it be P? Thanks, Toadessa7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Hi - I'm also fair skinned and got lots of unprotected sun as a kid. As far as I can remember, I never burned that badly, just got tan. Now, however, I burn severly and get a rash - very blotchy and red. I know many of my drugs cause sun sensitivity - ide, MTX, Allopurnal, and a few others - Maybe it's all the build up of drugs causing your skin rash?
