I wonder if this is a form of porphyria?

There are several types, but most involve sun intolerance.

Drugs will also set it off, and some forms are acquired.

Only a specialist who has experience can test for this, as it is pretty complex. Untreated, uncontrolled porphyria can lead to PN.

Niacin will also set off red skin/flushing as well. And some drugs are photosensitive...the redness does not have to be only on the sun exposed parts.
