Default Sun poisioning?!? WTF!! Medical experts help!!!

OK, I go out in my S cruising with the top down. Nice sunny day here in Cali. The next day I've got a nice tan not to mention a rash. It's like acne on my forehead and even on my arms. It itches worse then poision IVY and wont go away unless I stay out of the sun for a few days. Even with sunscreen!!!

I have a convertable and I'm gonna enjoy the sun, nothing's changing that, I just want to know how all of a sudden this is happening? Last yeah I could go out in the sun and get a nice tan with no problem. I used to go to the lake so often I was bronze. Now this?? WTF!!

Please help!! I love driving with the top down!!

Yeah, hopefully (on the experts, not STD's). My grandma told me it was because she used to have the same problems when younger.

I think I also have to mention I have had kidney problems in the past and I'm to the point where any dark liquid or soda makes me pay the next day with excruciating pain.

I'm looking up on a few links, but it's like finding a needle in a haystack for one that's actually informative. Click this link for another link for another link etc. I just want an answer!!!

TIA.

Could it be a combination of sun + windburn?

I wonder.....It itches and somewhat looks like hives. Even though I do get it still when I just go watch the auto-x. Not much wind there. At least not 80 mph wind

Hives are a bastard but you could probably rule that out based on your visual description couldn't you? When I had hives it was like a mosquito bite that covered larger areas, nothing like acne. Are you allergic to anything?

BTW Im just guessing, nothing near medical expertise here
