Arthritis Forum - Rash From the Sun

I have rheumatoid arthritis. For the past 3 years, whenever I go out in the sun I get this light pink to dark pink rash with white bumps all over my skin, it itches a little but not a lot and it kinda feels numb. I was wondering if this could be related to lupus or my arthritis?

Hi there! Are you on any medications for your arthritis, sometimes this can be a side effect with the meds or if you are fair skinned but either way I would talk to your doctor or pharmacist. I hope I have helped!
Always,
