Hydrochlorothiazide may cause your skin to be more sensitive to sunlight than it is normally. Exposure to sunlight, even for brief periods of time, may cause a skin rash, itching, redness or other discoloration of the skin, or a severe sunburn.
Heightened sensitivity to sun, or a phototoxic reaction, occurs when ultraviolet rays interact with certain chemicals in medications.
Even after you have stopped taking a drug, its effects may linger. "Depending on the type of drug and how long you've been taking it, it can remain in your system from one to five days
PLUS, IF YOUR REALLY A RED HEAD, YOU NEED TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL AS YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW.
response to added details: well, stop being a nudist or ask your doctor for another medication.

What is the most important information I should know about hydrochlorothiazide?
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to hydrochlorothiazide or if you are unable to urinate.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney disease, glaucoma, asthma or allergies, gout, diabetes, or if you are allergic to sulfa drugs or penicillin.
Avoid drinking alcohol, which can increase some of the side effects of hydrochlorothiazide.
Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather. Follow your doctor's instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink. In some cases, drinking too much liquid can be as unsafe as not drinking enough.
There are many other drugs that can interact with hydrochlorothiazide. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor. Keep a list of all your medicines and show it to any healthcare provider who treats you.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using this medication even if you feel fine. High blood pressure often has no symptoms.

Some patients who take medicines containing HCTZ become more sensitive to the sunlight. Those patients who become more sensitive to it usually develop a rash with redness and itching, or develop a sunburn. You should use a sunblock with at least SPF 15 and it should contain the ingriedient Parsol 1789 if you are going to have to be out in the sunlight.
