A friend of mine suffered from Porphyria, which is the disease that made people believe in vampires. In bad cases, the sun (even on a mild day) can cause bad blistering and rashes.
It seems odd that you never had the problem before Bali. I find that even though I spend more time in the sun, I don't burn much because the ozone layer is thicker there. But I think Porphyria has more to do with the way the skin absorbes vitamin D, rather than UV probs. But what do I know? Do I look like a doctor?
Anyway... make sure you get that checked out, coz there are medications that help.
