Quick sun induced rash

Question

Asked for Female, 26 Years

I sat on my porch today to get some sun (I don't go out much) and had my legs in direct sunlight. it was quite hot. After only a few minutes a bright red net-like rash, or lacy-rash, formed from my ankles to my upper thighs. I went back inside and my legs continued to feel hotter than the rest of me. the temperature difference made me feel unwell. After a few minutes inside the rash disappeared. I'm concerned this might be a symptom of a larger condition.
