Hi Amy -

The answer is - that depends. If you are on medication such as a corticosteroid (like prednisone), there is a chance you will be more sensitive in the sun. Consult with your physician if you are on any medications about possible issues.

For most folks, being in the sun is a fun and/or relaxing way to help dry up the rash., provided you haven't covered the rash in some way that may prevent it from "breathing".
