Clothing for Photosensitivity & PMLE
Polymorphic light eruption (PMLE) and photosensitivity more broadly cause skin reactions to sun exposure — sometimes on their own, sometimes as part of lupus or a medication side effect. Either way, the fix is the same: real, verified UV coverage, not just "sun protective" marketing language.

What to look for
-
UPF 50+ with real coverage. Sleeve length, collar height, and hem length all matter as much as the fabric's rating itself.
-
Don't forget eyes and hands. UV400 sunglasses and sun gloves cover the areas a long sleeve or hat leaves exposed.
-
Shade that travels with you. A packable hat or UV umbrella covers the gaps — getting out of the car, waiting for a ride, a quick errand.
