I need to know the name of a skin disorder caused by exposure to sunlight?

It makes your skin break out in what looks like ringworm, but it isn't. My son was diagnosed with this skin disorder several years ago, and I can't remember the name. Can anyone help me?

I believe that you are talking about Porphyria, also known as the "vampire disease". There was a book written by a woman that had it that may help you understand it better. The title was "Porphyria the Woman Who Has the "Vampire" Disease" (ISBN 0882821563) by Tammy Evans. (Listings start at $7.95 on abebooks---refer second to link)
