If you see Olta Boka "white" even after the beach season, don't even think of asking why. In a post on Instagram, the singer revealed that she is allergic to the sun.

"Ah, this sun allergy that didn't leave me comfortable even this summer. If at the end of the holidays you see me white, don't stick your finger in the wound. My heart aches for a bit of color, but only with a little sun exposure (with sunscreen) and my skin burns from allergy itches," she wrote.

Sun allergy (solar urticaria) is a rare allergy to sunlight that causes red, itchy, and irritated skin within minutes of sun exposure. This condition is rare and occurs worldwide, usually in people over the age of 35, but it can affect anyone.

"Actually, I suffer from dermatitis, but they described it as seborrheic, since during the rest of the year I suffer from general dryness of the skin and flaking of the scalp in its corners. These so-called autoimmune diseases are said to have no cure, but only control and improvement through maintenance," added Olta.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common, non-contagious, skin condition. This type of dermatitis causes itchy red patches and greasy scales. Having dermatitis increases the risk of sun allergy.

Treatment for sun allergy depends on the severity of the symptoms. Staying out of the sun can eliminate symptoms if they are mild. In other cases, doctors may recommend medication. Another treatment is phototherapy - treatment aims to prepare the skin for sunlight by regularly exposing it to ultraviolet radiation from a sunlamp, but the effects may not be long-lasting.
