Possible medical facial blemish or condition unknown term

Hi Can anyone decipher these letters of the word that looks like 'sumervoise' or 'sununervoise' which I think from memory were on a medical report from the army.
There were a few people with this 'condition' listed but I have been unable to find out what is may be.

This is a tough one isn't it!
It looks like summervoise to me but it is proving hard to find anything close to this on medical dictionaries.
What year is this report?

I agree re Summervoise. I wondered if it might be some sort of rash brought on in the summer heat but this is pure speculation

I saw summervoise too & wondered if it was a term for freckles but can't find anything to suggest that except I now know the German for freckles is Sommersprossen - 'summer sprouts

How intriguing, will be interested to find out what it means. Flushed complexion perhaps.

I checked synonyms for rashes, freckles, liver spots, sunburn, flushed skin, hives, wrinkles, moles, birthmarks, etc. Can't find it.

Just when I was about to give up, I found this! Now that we know how to spell it, if you google it as summer voys (2 words), or summer-voys (hyphenated), google spits up a lot of old books with the term.
