Medical Treatment:
- No cure
- Avoid the sun especially 11 am to 3 pm
- Wear protective clothing when outdoors
- Apply sunscreens to help prevent the rash from developing - use SPF 30 or above with a good UVA rating
- Corticosteroid (steroid) cream or ointment can prescribe by your GP; its only applied when the rash appears
- Sometimes desensitization or UV treatment is possible to increase the resistance of your skin to the sun
- You should see a hospital dermatology department 3 times a week for 4 to 6 weeks in the spring
- If you need treatment with vitamin D supplements, your GP may give you more advice
