Hi all I was just wondering if anyone could help me out with a quick question

I take hydroxychloroquine and a few weeks ago I came out in a rash after been out in the sun, at the time I thought I had an allergic reaction to my washing powder but after reading around I found it could be a side effect of the meds. Although last week I was out in the sun all day and I didn't realise it would be as sunny as it was so forget to cover up but didn't come out in a rash. I was just wondering if this was a side effect that came and want for want of a better phrase! Thanks in advance

Hydroxychloroquine makes you very sensitive to the sun - my rheumy nurse told me always to be careful in the sun, use a very high factor cream, and cover up. It can cause a rash, and I believe methotrexate causes similar problems.
