I'm slightly allergic to the sun and my hives are peeling...?

last summer i got sun poisoning twice 2 weekends in a row and my dr told me that it may develop into an allergy to the sun....well, it did, thank goodness its just a slight allergy not a severe allergy. but anyways, i was out in the sun all day, i didnt get sunburned because i was in the shade more than i was in the sun, but the sunlight was still hitting my skin a little bit, just not enough to burn it. i got hives from that, the hives went away a few days ago, but the skin on my arms is still a little bit itchy and now they are peeling right where the hives were, but my face isnt at all and i had hives there too. does anyone know why this might be happening?

i developed a slight allergy to the sun when i had sun poisoning 2 times in a row last summer and now i get hives, i was in the sun too long last weekend, and the hives went away now but now my arms are peeling and my face isnt. i was NOT sun bathing, i was the park. i dont sun bathe, i am too pale and i burn easily, it was however not a sunburn, i was mainly in the shade, but i got hives and they are now gone and now my arms are peeling. why is that? and what can i do about it?

lotion, lotion, lotion...try something like aveeno for sensitive skin it may help. I have sun allergy too and have almost found a way around it this year by going in the sun during the spring while the rays are not as harmful and building up a tolerance, only problem is I forgot about my back and am now suffering horribly after a week at the beach but everything else stayed hive free for the first time in 14 years. Try looking for info on the web and it can give you hints as to how to control it, your kinda stuck with this unless your body chemistry changes but you can build a tolerance so you dont have such a bad reaction in the future. Good luck and hope this helps.
