Hi all
My skin flares up in a rash when I am exposed to the sun in summer. A few years ago I just used to get in on my hands and a butterfly rash on my face. But this year, I've been getting it on my arms and the back of my neck as well. I have to apply plenty of sunblock to keep the rash down and I apply aloe vera to stop the itching before I go to bed.
I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem and do you think it is associated with having an under active thyroid?

Are you on dianette or any other contraceptive? I get rash too but is down to pill as had it 15 years before on thyroxine. If you use a non chemical suncreen - one that reflects the sun rather than absorbs it - that should stop the rash. The one I use is from Liz Earle and I never get a rash when using it out in the sun.
You have to see Specialist asap.. it could be autoimmune desease!
