Pull into your state bay
Solar urticaria is a rare form of physical urticaria (hives) triggered by exposure to sunlight. Within minutes of sun exposure, affected individuals develop itchy, red welts on exposed skin. In severe cases, reactions can include dizziness, headache, nausea, and even anaphylaxis. The condition is caused by an abnormal immune response to specific wavelengths of light.
