8. Treating Sun Allergies

Mild cases of sun allergy may resolve on their own. More severe reactions, however, may require medication. A doctor can prescribe medications for reducing inflammation and relieving itching. A doctor may also suggest phototherapy—a treatment that helps make the skin less sensitive to sunlight. Typically, this therapy takes place over several months.
