Hi,

Sun rash is seen as small, reddish blisters or small or large spots in areas that have been exposed to sunlight. It is commonly seen in children and young women and tends to be recurrent. Unfortunately, it is not know why some people are so sensitive to sunlight. Continue with your regimen and avoid direct sunlight when it is most intense around midday and early afternoon. Use a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor.

Take care and regards.
