Allergist and Immunologist Questions Sun allergy

My skin starts to itch in the sun. Is it some allergy?

Lately, every time I step in the sun, my skin starts to feel itchy. I'm not sure of what this could really be. It's not severe enough to cause alarm, but I notice it. Could this be an allergy?

It can be an allergy to Ultraviolet light. There are also other possibilities. You should see an allergist or a dermatologist to get appropriate diagnosis and management.
