Sunspots
Other Names:
Polymorphic light eruption Nature:
Sunspots are an itchy mottled rash, which is red and raised, that develops on some of the parts of the body exposed to the sun. It is a hypersensitivity to ultraviolet radiation and is thought to be due to an inappropriate immune response. Usually the rash clears spontaneously within a week or so, but is likely to recur in subsequent summers.
