LOL another diagnosis - anyone here have Polymorphic Light Eruption?

Realy? The version that I have of little white bumps is Psoracic (sp) Arthritis. My hands go numb until the skin peals. For me it is brought on with stress.

For three years I got these little red dots on my hands and feet, they would fade and then the skin would peel from my hands and feet,, it was odd, I saw a dermo whileit was goingon,, he took a few samples of the skin and called me to tell me it wasent fungal but had no clue what it was, and this guy was highly recommended,, go figure,, like the doctor told me the other day,, you may have something thats completely new,, ya bud,, I jsut fell off the turnip truck too, like I;m theonly one in the history of the universe that has all these strange things going on,,

Hi Really? Don't you just love all these crazy things that just don't make any sense but there you are suffering from them? Of course I'm being facetious - it's so maddening and I'm sorry all of us have to deal with this crap. But to be honest I didn't see any description of PLE where the skin peeled like that. I think Joe S. is right - yours may be psoriasis - I have that too from time to time and I'm surprised a dermatologist couldn't diagnose that.  I actually think the psoriasis is worse than the PLE - because with PLE I can avoid sunlight and wear protective clothes.

FWIW:  I just ordered some lightweight gardening/sun gloves that cover the whole hand and come in different lengths.  I hope they're as good as they sound:  foxglovesinc.com/Foxgloves  Take that, sunlight!!
