I am curious if there are many people with sun allergy at PR? I did a search for PMLE and only found one post. I know it is very common with Lupus, but that was ruled out for me.
I think my real question, is if there are enough people with this issue, could we create a group?

Polymorphous light eruption, also known as polymorphic light eruption, is an itchy rash caused by sun exposure in people who have developed a sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity). The rash usually appears as red, tiny bumps or slightly raised patches of skin.
Polymorphous light eruption occurs most often during spring and early summer when a person's exposure to sunlight increases. Repeat episodes are less likely as the summer progresses, but polymorphous light eruption often recurs each year after the first incident.
