So this flies in the face of most current advise on limiting unprotected exposure to direct sunlight.
Thank you for weighing in with your perspective. I do believe there is a balance here with both lines of thought.

Even using sunscreen when outside, I experience outbreaks no matter the season. My eczema is a yearround issue whether or not I am outside in the sun. It was made worse because of coworkers' preferences to higher temepatures no matter the season.
I am sad to learn about your symptoms. I can be especially challenging when unable to control the climate of one's workspace. It sounds like heat is your trigger whether indoors or out.
