Hi @EJ1 & welcome to the forum,
What medication are you on? some meds can cause photosensitivity. I remember when I was taking Gliclizide I used to have to keep my legs covered and make sure I had factor 50 on as they used to itch and I also found I burned more easily although I always burnt easily anyway it did become worse when I was on the Glic - here’s a link to meds that can make you more sensitive to the sun

Sun-sensitizing drugs have side effects when people taking them are exposed to the sun. Find out more.
