We present the case of a 58-year-old male patient who presented with pruritic skin plaques and papules on the scalp, face, back, and back of the hands for over a year. The symptoms worsened upon exposure to sunlight and improved on cloudy days. Despite previous attempts at treatment with glucocorticoid ointment and antihistamine drugs, the patient experienced progressive aggravation of symptoms.

Background: Generalized rash is amongst the most common conditions presented to practicing General Practitioners and common differentials include contact dermatitis, atopic eczema, sun-induced damage, drug eruption and general manifestations of systemic diseases or infections.
Materials And Methods: We illustrate with differential diagnoses our clinical case of a generalized rash in a 55-year-old man with pathognomonic signs of a diagnosis, which has received increasing global concern.
Conclusion: Despite the array of available laboratory tests, a detailed history and physical examination is still of paramount importance to arrive at the most likely diagnosis for any patient with a generalized skin rash.

Background: Photosensitivity (PS) in lupus erythematosus (LE) is frequently determined by patient report.
Objective: We sought to characterize self-reported PS in cutaneous LE (CLE).
Methods: The PS survey was used to classify subject responses into 5 phenotypes: direct sun-induced CLE flare (directCLE); general exacerbation of CLE (genCLE); polymorphic light eruption-like reactions (genSkin); general pruritus/paresthesias (genRxn); and sun-induced systemic symptoms (genSys).

We describe seven patients, four female and three male, who developed intense pruritus on sun-exposed skin without visible change. The clinical features resembled those of polymorphic light eruption (PLE) without rash. Four patients also occasionally developed typical PLE upon sun exposure, but sun-induced pruritus alone occurred most frequently.
