Coolibar has sun protective clothing and leggings you should not expose your skin like that. Capri pants are fine inside and running in and out but 3 hours is too long. .maybe a dermatologist can help you guys what you r experiencing is lupus reactions to the sun, see discoid and subacute, it is not just the malar rash. In the summer I am in at 10a and go back out after 6 or 7, I go out during the day but it is just errands and such. Please take proper care of your skin. Some ppl get physically sick from the sun no skin problems but when the sun hits your skin it changes your DNA. Please be sun smart their are articles all over the Internet about lupus and the sun.

Yes; I got this for years when we would go to Florida for vacation and it would often spread into great big red patches that itched horribly; I would be miserable. I just thought it was like sunburn or some kind of allergy. Now I wonder if this was my first precursor to Lupus. Now that I am active Lupus, I can't even be in the sun or heat now in Virginia.

Thanks everyone! I reapplied 50 sunblock 3 times over the course of 3 hours but still got petichiae on my legs a bit. I guess I will need to find some pants that dry quickly when we go kayaking. I'm not ready to give it up yet...

I would call my doc, and let him know, always wear sunblock or sun protective clothing if you are in the sun, the number one enemy of lupus patients is the sun. Stay safe it's gonna be a hot summer.

Just set boundaries for your own health can't do ever th ING but you can do a little.
