Common Questions and Answers about Heat rash golf

Avatar f tn Hi from New Zealand. I get a heat rash on my calves after a round of golf in the summer, sometimes even in the winter. I can get it whether I wear long trousers, over-trousers or shorts. I have tried barrier creams and washing the calves after every third hole. I am less likely to get the rash if I play in the morning although there is no gurantee. I also got it at Disneyland in California. I am in my late 60s, otherwise fit and active and have been getting the rash for about ten years.
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.
Avatar f tn I'm a golfer playing in Missouri now in temperatures in mid to high 90's and with heat index over 100. We call it "Survival Gold". All sorts of usual symptoms occur to people from thermal (heat) stress leading to heat exhaustion, heat prostration and the potentially fatal "heat stroke". If this only occurs playing golf in hot weather and in the sun and no other times then it likely is a part of heat stress for you.
Avatar m tn When it first started, I only used to get this rash when I wore my golf glove, NOT as an effect of going out drinking with my friends and not after a stressful week. Anyways, I know I probably shouldn't, but once I get them, which I have em right now, I pop them, and they go away after a few days. They aren't painful and only itch if I don't pop them. 1) Is this an allergy?
Avatar f tn ANY WAY, I have had this rash in my right inner thigh (groin area) it looks identical to a heat rash, it is painless does not itch. It has a slightly dry look, and feel. Its red. I am freaking out thinking this may be due to syphilis. It has been here for 2 weeks. Has not changed in look, I applied jock itch spray for about a week, no change. What could this be? Chafing...? but doesn't chafing itch, and burn. Once again, painless, red rash. What is it?!
Avatar m tn If its ARS how long would the rash take to normally go away? Is it 1-2 weeks? The rash i had which i hope was heat rash was practically gone the next day. I never got a rash from playing golf in the sun. So this concerns me.
534800 tn?1217167359 Went through the whole thought that it was sun associated but ruled that out when I covered up and still got it, thought it was normal heat rash or maybe sweat rash but ruled those out too as the symptoms do not quite fit. Golfers vasculitis does, however, fit my symptoms. Unfortunately, it does not need to be either extremely hot or excessiovely humid for me to get it. A warmish day in a normal British summer and a long walk will do it.
Avatar m tn First, this problem has happened on several occasions. After a "sweaty" workout for several hours, I always seem to break out in some kind of rash. It looks like a bunch of BIG pimples. They are red and typically have a white or clear head on them. In a couple of days, they always seem to clear up with no medication. I have them as I am typing this as a result of playing 36 holes of golf yesterday in 90 degree heat.
Avatar f tn I have been having a few issues and the most recent has kind of scared me a bit. First, I got a red bumpy rash all over, I went to the doctor and she said it was a heat rash, so she prescribed me cream and it hasn't gotten better, but it hasn't been very long. Now, I have lumps on my head - about 5 - about double the size of a pencil eraser, they hurt a lot - it hurts to turn my head. They were itchy, but I washed my hair and they aren't itchy anymore.
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 f tn I have woke up this morning with itchiness and burning on my bum cheek, when I’ve touched it I’ve realised it’s extremely swollen, it’s at the crease of my left cheek right on the inside crease leading towards the vagina, I’ve examined no bite marks or nothing and do not understand what it could be, it feels like a heat rash and when I touch it it leaves a white mark for about 5 seconds, it feels very tender and by looking at my bum you can see how much it has swollen, it’s very uncomfortable an
Avatar f tn I'm from California n this 90-100¤ weather is giving me a heat rash it's down my thighs and ice packs help...anyone else get rashes?

Avatar n tn It is characterized by an intensely red, macerated, glistening rash with scaling on the edges. The edge of the rash extends just beyond the limits of the opposing skin folds. If it persists, it would be best to have it evaluated by your doctor for proper management. Take care and keep us posted.
20800812 tn?1512273868 It is Saturday night and I have developed a golf ball size hematoma beneath the incision. Should I go to urgent care? There is no pain. It itches.
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 Stress the importance of staying well hydrated when he is out in the hot weather. N/V is a cardinal sign of heat exhaustion which can lead to heat stroke. Chronic dehydration can cause renal calculi (kidney stones) to become more present, however, what kind of kidney stones were they? Does your husband take calcium supplements? Eat a lot of protein?
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 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.
630615 tn?1223249725 In the morning I passed a clot the size of a golf ball. Then yesterday, the same. Now its Saturday and Ive stopped bleeding so bad but, I passed FOUR golf ball size clots just today! I feel fine and i'm not in any pain at all. Its already almost 5:30 pm and if I go to the hospital now ill be there till 1AM. I think I shoud just wait till morning? But my mom says she doesnt want to have to go to my funeral. She says im gonna hemorage. But im not bleeding in between the clots now.
Avatar n tn My face gets very red (purple) and I sweat very little. I sometimes get dizzy and have fainted on the golf course before. I generally can cool myself down with a cold shower. However, any exposure to heat or physical exertion triggers overheating and I have subsequently given up on all the activities I love. I'm also very scared. My primary physician has always told me that there is nothing that can be done and I have taken his word for it. I hope he is very wrong. Any thoughts?
