What Do Bumps On The Head After Sun Exposure Indicate?
Hi, I recently noticed that after I had been out in the sun for a few hours that big bumps have started to form on my head. They sorta resemble a pimple but are unable to pop. Could this be some type of sun poisoning, and if so what can I do to treat it?

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, it can be photosensitivity rash and needs to be examined by your primary care physician and of needed autoimmune work up might be asked. Though acne can be triggered by prolonged sweating or sun exposure but needs to be reviewed by dermatologist if persists. Meanwhile sunblocks with SPF more than 60 can be used.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
