Solar urticaria

Curious how many on this forum suffer from solar urticaria?

    Thanks for reaching out.
    As you may be aware, solar urticaria is quite rare. Of all people with urticaria, about half of 1 percent have solar urticaria.
    As we wait for others to chime in with their experiences, I thought I'd share this article that may provide some helpful information: https://chronic-hives.com/clinical/rare-types

    1. I have solar urticaria as well. Any time I am exposed to sunlight, I break out in an itchy awful rash. I’m curious what others do to prevent a rash. I’m looking forward to a trip to the shore next week. HELP!
