Answer:
Did this complaint happen recently? Or has it been a long time?
Hives or redness of the skin which is also often accompanied by itching is the body’s reaction to being sensitive to sunlight. In simple terms, it can be called an allergic reaction.
The body will release inflammatory substances, which will dilate blood vessels and also cause redness, bumps/swelling, and rashes on the skin.
To prevent this, it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight. Can wear loose, breathable clothing, as well as sun cream.
If hives already appear, it can also be helped by applying moisturizing lotion to reduce itching and to help the skin recover quickly. If it is very bothersome, it can also be combined with antihistamine or corticosteroid drugs or you should consult the nearest dermatologist.
