I have had a problem with the sun for many years.  Every year I break out from the sun with little red bumps that itch like crazy.  They usuall dont come right away, and stay for about 4 weeks.  I have been to many drs and used many creams and nothing seems to help.  Not even sunscreen.  Basically the drs say that I have a slight allergy to the sun and to just stay out of it.  The best thing that works for me when I cant stay out of the sun is cortizone cream and a cold compress.
