Can My Symptoms Indicate Photosensitivity?

Chronic skin rash, multiple biopsies, the latest read that it appeared to be a medicine induced rash, however I do not take anything. Inflammation of the blood vessels, no known cause.(2 rounds of prednisone, no change...antihistamines, do not alter the state either. They also told me that it appeared to be photosensitive, however, my legs never see the light of day so how can this be? The rash never changes always burns, no itching and all bloodwork and I mean thousands of dollars worth of bloodwork is normal. Have seen an allergist and not allergic to anything.

Hello,

Photosensitivity is characterised of increased sensitivity to sunlight. If you get the redness and itchiness in areas that do not see the sun, very likely this is not photosensitivity.
Other conditions such as autoimmune diseases, and others, should be ruled out.

I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.
