Might check into a infectious disease doc ?. .my situation ...quickly after exposure to sunlight , skin can act like its allergic to bright sunlight ...Mast Cell Syndrome ...maybe ? effects can last days ..skin cells seem to react when
light , stress, or even like as if pores. maybe opening and the change , cases a reaction ? The itchyness can get unbearable at times ..generally in specific areas with direct exposure to light .
gets worse for me as I got older ..with breif lapses after some long term medical antibiotic treatments..
Have blood checked possibly ,for high cortisole levels .skin creams often make it worse for me.....Dermatologists..generally misdiagnose this stuff a a excema or dermatitus with me. Just offering some ideas..
Think you will need a smarter than average Doc.
Forgot to add was diagnosed by a Infectious disease Doctor MD,with this stuff,,years and years of dermatologists wanted to misdiagnose it .

I've heard of people being allergic to sunlight although I know nothing beyond that. I'll agree you might want to see a doctor about it.
