7. Sunlight sensitivity
Photosensitivity or sunlight sensitivity is a skin reaction that appears right after exposing yourself to the sunlight. Patients with skin manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus experience exacerbations or become worse when they are exposed to the sun. In other cases, they show a skin rash in the areas exposed to sunlight, as in the neck, face, and forehands. These symptoms last for one or two days, and they are a key diagnosis to detect cutaneous manifestations of this disease. However, other patients may also experience photosensitivity for many different reasons. If you find any unusual rash that is triggered by sun exposure, it should be examined by a dermatologist before using any cream or home remedy to fix it.
