Has anyone noticed that you are more prone to sunburn when either in an active cycle or chronic? I'm not sure if it was from being flushed from CH while in the sun, or due to some medication, but I normally never burn and I've had 2 blistering sunburns in the past 10 days (and I was already tan). Both times I had an attack while in the sun, I could not feel my skin getting hot. Even though I can see the blisters on my shoulders & arms and am aware that I should be in pain, it doesn't hurt at all. Has CH changed my pain tolerance that much?

 I can't say that I have ever noticed any corrilation between CH and sunburn. I do know certain Medications can cause that situation though!
Lived in South Florida most of my life and spent lots of time in the sun, caution and sun screen are always the prudent way to avoid burning too badly!

I live in S. FLA too, and I never have seen a correlation.
The only times where it may happen is because if I'm in cycle, and I'm at the beach, I like to drink BEER. Who doesn't? Most times I don't drink cause I know it's a major trigger for me, but some days I'm more stupid than usual and will drink one and get slammed.

You are supposed to be careful when on Verapamil as well as Siezure meds.

I have not noticed a correlation. Although I am older, I still have acne and also have an olive or yellowish complexion so both of those lower my sunburn factor.
I also did not notice increased sunburn in the past when on different meds, but I was probably at home in my comfort zone instead of in the sun.
The only sunburn I had in the past 10 years was while attending a birthday party in the mountains between California and Nevada where the altitude was high and I stayed outside longer than usual.

I live in the Pilbara in the northwest of Western Australia an area known as the highest for solar radiation in Australia and second only behind somewhere in the Middle East.
I noticed that in my last cycle I couldn’t stand the direct sunlight for any length of time and would have to seek out shade; although I didn’t burn I could feel the heat penetration greater than when not in cycle.
