Common Questions and Answers about Heat rash duration

heat

Avatar m tn I played golf that day and it was scorching hot and humid, so I thought it was a heat rash. However, heat rash appears to be a red, pimple like raised rash. No fever or other symptoms with my rash. (1) does this sound like HIV rash since it was so short in duration, (2) is over 5 weeks too late to get rash sympyoms...everything I've read says w - 4 weeks and (3) what else could this have been? Thanks for any help.

The rash on my back flares up when I'm exposed to more heat and sweating, and notice during stressful weeks it seems to get worse. I need to apply lotion more often which does keep the skin in better condition. When it doesn't itch, I tend to forget to apply lotion which is not smart. Also, avoid hot showers. OTC's like hydrocortisone cremes and antihistamines help calm it down. Good luck with trt.
645390 tn?1338555377 My left foot, leg had become very tingly and is starting to have numb patches. If I stay cool, how long do you think it will become "normal" again? I still need to do 2 outings today, but then will home home in the AC for the duration of the day. Just curious "about" how long it takes to go away. Has been worsening since yesterday, and vision a bit on the funky side as well. I just dont want it to worsen, of I will be in trouble.
Avatar m tn You are only beginning this treatment. I predict that by the time you get to week 10 you will no longer even consider taking the Incivek longer than 12 weeks. Besides, the risk of adverse events increases dramatically beyond 12 weeks. The rash can get really really nasty and if it gets systemic, which happened a lot more often past 12 weeks, you could end up with SJS or DRESS and you DO not want to go there! Please discard this idea now!
Avatar n tn I have had a heat rash on my neck, beside the jawline now for 14 years. I have been to a few Dr's who have said "Its just a heat rash, nothing you can do about it". My question, can a heat rash last for this long? Its been in the same place and has never spread. Its definately gets worse in the heat, it itches like crazy.

Avatar n tn Gave oral sex 4 months ago and swallowed semen. Would the duration of the rash indicate it is not hiv? I am seeing a doctor in 2 weeks and will ask for a test at that time.
Avatar n tn I was bitten in NC by a tick a month ago. the red dot that formed after I was bitten in still there. There is no bull's eye, rash, or pain, but I'm wondering how long a red dot should stay, and if I should have my doctor check it out just in case.
Avatar f tn There are so many things it could be, starting with heat rash because yes you can get it on your legs, so posting a picture or describing it would help. Also, this article might help. http://walking.about.com/od/medhot/a/legrash.
Avatar n tn In no case did any of them ejaculate in my mouth. Oral health is average. Duration of oral activity was somewhat limited 5 - 10 mins total. I've read alot about the symptoms of acute HIV infection and am quite nervous. OK, I am really nervous. From a period ranging from 4 days to 5 weeks after these episodes I developed a rash. They were pinkish red in color and ranged from just a centimeter or two in diameter to a half inch, maybe slightly more.
Avatar n tn 7 days later I came down with severe stomach ache, very bad body malaise/body aches, as well as severe diarrhea – no rash, highest recorded temperature was 99.5 F. These symptoms lasted for 48 hours – felt fine the following days, maybe a little tired. I know symptoms are not a good way to calculate HIV status, but if you might answer these questions please. 1. What is the typical timeframe for ARS? Does 7 days fit the time frame for the onset of ARS symptoms? 2.
Avatar n tn hives are itchy irregular raise patches of redness and heat can heighten an allergic reaction if your son has been out in the heat when the rash came. it may also be heat rash, but the benedryl and bactine would do him no harm if you give them and they are not what is needed. a cold wash cloth works well on hives and heat rash.
Avatar n tn I just wanted to update you on my son's rash that I suspect is from the hot tub. He is still itchy, but the rash itself is not as apparent. I have continued to give him regular Benadryl, but think that perhaps I should change to Claritin as it is non-drowsy. How long should I expect this to last if it is related to the hot tub? Would you recommend using a moisturizer? I did get him some topical analgesic spray for itching that can be used 1-3 x a day, but it offers short term relief at best.
Avatar n tn Most often, heat rash goes away on its own. Severe forms of heat rash may need medical care, but the best way to relieve symptoms is to cool your skin and prevent sweating. Keep the affected area dry. Dusting powder may be used to increase comfort.
Avatar n tn The most important thing is to not wear perfume in the first place. Trust me, as long as you don't smell bad, no one cares. And some of us much prefer it when people forgo the perfume (it burns my nose). I would not put neosporin on heat rash if it's not infected. You want the area to stay nice and dry, not all gooey, and there's no need for the antibiotics if you don't have open sores. I've never heard of baking soda being any good.
Avatar n tn One should also contact a doctor if the rash seems worse and fever is present. In most cases, prickly heat will resolve within a few weeks without medical attention or intervention. Regards.
Avatar m tn Hi All, I seem to have developed some kind of heat or sun rash that i experience every time i go overseas. It normally appears within 15 minutes of exposure to sun. I've tried all different types of sunscreens that are meant to be very friendly with no luck. Once it's appeared pretty much nothing will calm it down including air con, antihystamines or steroid creams (which i don't like using).
