I have a condition known as PMLE which stands for Polymorphic Light Eruption. In plain English, it means my body sometimes incorrectly thinks it's under attack from UV light and thus, I get an allergic response (rash) from the sun.

I've had this condition for years now. My case is pretty mild and my outbreaks are random. This time around, unfortunately, it's lasting WAY longer than normal and it's been two week of unbroken rash. It's really bumming me out and it highly frustrating.

I'm greatly embarrassed by how my skin looks when I break out in the rash, but I'm hopeful that by talking about it openly and publicly, I can not only help get through some of my fears, but help educate other people about the condition.

I've tried to capture a little of what
it looks like, but it's really difficult to get it properly on film. Its a lot redder than it appears here, and much more "bumpy" and "rashy" but this at least gives you an idea.

Here's some links if you want to read more about it:
