Hi,
Methadone probably not cause photosensitivity. But it is possible if you're allergic to the methadone drug. Other possibilities like photosensitivity or an allergic skin rash to the drugs or skin Infection etc.
Just Change the medicine and see once. use antihistamine and sun protection cream. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
