Q: What Is It? Pustules And Rash.
asked by: Eukerj on April 24th, 2007

Well, after spending the weekend laying out in the sun, I woke up Monday morning with my entire torso covered in red bumps, and what could resemble hundreds of very tiny pimples all over. By today, it has faded some in my shoulders, but seems to have spread a little. My entire chest is covered, and some of my stomach. The pustules are more noticeable now too.

It looks quite horrible, and is warm to touch... not to mention can be prickly due to the whitehead-like things.

I've been researching a lot, and beginning to lean towards something called PMLE(Polymorphic Light Eruption)

To note, I haven't exposed myself to the sun in several years, and have very little pigment.

Anyone have a clue?

At first glance it sounds like Pustular Psoriasis but I'm not an expert so you should probably ask your GP asap.
