Solar Urticaria
The Solar Urticaria is an abnormal reaction of the skin to light (especially UV radiation, but also to visible light) and comes very rarely. The mechanism is still unclear; perhaps it is an allergic reaction from the immediate or a non-immunologic ally triggered histamine release. Since this reaction by UVA light is triggered, it can also glassed-in sun rooms arise.
