I was diagnosed with Tumid Lupis when I lived in Tennessee. I would get these rashes from the sun. Mostly down my arms. It itched and would flare up even if my arm was exposed in my car from the sun coming in my window and they were tinted dark. Sometimes lights in the office I worked in would cause a rash. Nothing helped. I also had joint pain fatigue and sleep disturbances. Since I moved to Connecticut the rash does not appear here. I've even gone to the beach no rash. No idea.
