I cant be in the sun longer than an hour or two before I get a miserable rash. It scars sometimes and nothing helps except being completely covered.

You have what is called photosensitivity, or sun allergy.

My brother-in-law is also allergic to the sun. After being in the sun he breaks out in an itchy rash. He says that the 1% (the strongest you can get) anti-itch cream works well for him. There are 2 kinds - one with cortisone and one with generic Benadryl - Diphenhydramine. I don't know which he says works best - but they are not too expensive - so I would suggest a trip to Walgreen's or Walmart and trying a tube of both! Try not to scratch and keep your skin as cool as possible! Hot water can temporarily relieve the itching - but sets you up for a rebound!

Some people have skin conditions that make the Sun intolerable. I would suggest you go to your doctor and ask the same question you asked here. Something is clearly amiss when the sun scars you after two hours.
Get thee to a doctor, my friend!

Yes this is a real allergy. Make sure you wear sunscreen with SPF 45 and cover up. No way around it
Sorry

My mom gets the same condition, she has to wear long sleeves and pants when she goes out in the summer sun.
