sun rash
Solar skin reaction
Sun rash is a skin irritation triggered by exposure to sunlight, typically appearing as red, itchy bumps or patches on areas that were covered then suddenly exposed.
It's distinct from ordinary sunburn—some people develop it even on overcast days or through windows.
I always get a sun rash on my chest the first week of beach vacation.
