ok. 1st of all i hardly never burn in the sun i just tan. and if i do get burned some its gone the next morning. ok, yesterday i was outside most all day and got burned..alot. and i noticed some kind or rash or something on my ars yesterday. then this morning it was gone and i went outside in the sun for something like 30-40 minutes. I noticed my arms looked like the pic up there. Its mostly smooth and looks like that but in some spots there are bumps, not large ones but just the size of a pimple but for the most part its just flat. its all over my arms and some on the top part of my leg. ive not been in the sun anymore today and its been like 4 hours since ive been in the sun and all of that rash or whatever it is is still there. 1st off, my dad has lupus. does this look like lupus to you and is lupus heridatary and could i have it? 2nd, what else could it be? could it be sun poisioning? if so what caused it and when will it go away? what else could it be and what would have caused it?

i get this too. my mom is a nurse and she says its either a reaction to the grass that the sun in the summer produces or an allergy to the sun. i went to thw doctor and she perscribed me a lotion that calmed it and made it less noticble to the point where it went away. hope i helped

Usually Lupus is also on the face so I doubt it that. It is hereditary however, it can only be diagnosed with blood tests, skin and kidney biopsys & a physical. It's most likley just a sun burn especially because you seem to be out in the sun for a while.
I recommend that you put some aloe vera on (it's like an after sun burn thing to help with the burn and die down on the redness). Then just wait until it's over. Wear sun screen!!!!!! It's the best thing you can do once it goes away. If it does keep happening as badly as it was in the picture everytime you're in the sun I suggest to consult a doctor.

it is a sunrash.
just try to stay out of the sun for awhile.
Next time you'll be in the sun, try using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with UVA protection (see the label)
hope it gets better
