Methotrexate & Sun Exposure

[Guest guest]

I am sorry if this is an obvious post, but I need some help or

advice. I have been taking methotrexate for about 2 almost 3 months

now and it is approaching the Summer months. I read the warning that

read avoid exposure in sunlight, well no matter if it is shaded or

not, I am getting absolutely burnt to a a nice glowing shade or red,

no, there is no shade of red that this can be called. Now, this is

with being slathered in sunscreen, hats, a umbrella. I also get hot

flashes from my meds and so, it is a double edge sword. But even

driving in the car to an from work, my arm is glowing red by the end.

It is not a typical burn, it seems chemical in nature. So, I am not

sure if anyone else has had experience with this. Thanks for any

thoughts.
