Avatar n tn My skin gets unbearably itchy every time I get even the slightest sun burn or even just lay out in the sun. Why does this happen and what can I do to prevent this on vacation in Florida?
Avatar n tn Not unbearable but bad enough to see a dermatologist who told me I am alergic to the sun - stay out of sun and wear sun block. I stay out of the sun. It is five years later. I went to a second dermatologist who took a biopsy of one of the itchy bumps that have become a new symptom. She told me I have a drug alergy and I should have my primary physician change my medications. I told her the only drug I take is lorazapam.
Avatar n tn Hello, Itchy skin in summers esp when in the sun can be due to release of histamine which can happen due to solar urticaria. For that try taking an antihistaminic like Benadryl or Claritin and apply good hypoallergenic sunscreen at least half an hour before going out in the sun. Apply a moisturizer with ingredients like glycerin or urea when you come out of the pool,shower or bath. To soothe itching, look for moisturizers with pramoxine (PrameGel) and menthol.
2040835 tn?1329869995 ve tried eliminating all sorts of food but after last Saturday I got a bad reaction after 2 hours being in the sun. My skin was itching and burning all over (this was about 4 hours after sun exposure). I'm still extremely itchy now and find it really hard not to scratch :( Sun never used to be my enemy so I'm very confused. I am under some stress too which I heard is not helping any skin conditions at all.

Avatar f tn Hello, Since the rash is non itchy hence it looks less likely to be due to allergies. It looks like due to sun burns. Apply cool compresses on the area and take bath with cool(not very cold) water. Do not scrub your skin or shave your skin and use a soft towel and gently pat your skin dry.Also use a sunburn Over-The-Counter remedy containing aloe vera and a light moisturizer or a dusting powder to relieve chafing.
Avatar n tn by naughtynally, 4 minutes ago hi iv just recentily returned form a sun holidays, last year was my 1st time on a sun holiday i broke out in a rash, my skin went red and itchy, my eyes were sore, red and itchy and i burn very easily so this year i was given heat rash tablets by my gp. The rash cleared in most areas of my body but i still had a rash on my hands and neck. My face felt all lumpy and sandy, my eyes went very sore, red, and itchy and watered alot.
Avatar f tn Everyone is different, I have olive skin and tolerate the sun well. If you are fair skinned you may have more issues.
Avatar m tn I have very fair skin and fair hair, whenever I'm out in the sun for a long period of time I seem to get sun poisoning even when I use sun block. Should I be concerned?
Avatar n tn Every spring for the last few years I get an itchy rash on my forearm. It isn't red or hot just ichy and the further into summer it goes it gets worse and it looks like small blisters. The sun and temperature changes make it really bad. Steroid creams don't work any more and I don't really know what it is anyway. Does anyone else!

Avatar f tn What would be the reason for red itchy whelps on your skin only in the places that the sun hits?

3221216 tn?1373640059 m just staying out of the sun.....I do not want those rashes/itchy skin and the sun can only make things worst. Hope you find a good doctor. Where do you live? I know a good one in San Diego at UCSD. I know weight is a concern. I lost a huge amount of weight before starting the program. The first time on the program, I was heavy and was a relapser so I did everything I could this time around to try to put myself in a better place for success. Good luck on getting treatment.
Avatar n tn My daughter has always had a face that got very red in the sun, especially under her eyes...even w/ sun screen. This summer she has had a bout of fifth's disease and now has the same sun sensitivity and an itchy rash on her arms and behind her knees. The fifth's disease was almost 2 months ago. The rash is definately worse in the sun but also seems to get worse when she is very warm. The rash is itchy and burns when I put sunscreen on her.
Avatar f tn yes I am a bit overweight and going on a diet My skin does not however hurt when touched and the crawling is under the skin sort of like a burning sensation i have found that witch haze land baby gel oil did help also i am going to be taking milk thistle someone suggested i try that and see if that doesnt help. But thank you for your kind response I will see if weight loss helps.
Avatar n tn Thanks for the reply, My problem seems to be directly related to the combination - humidity, sun & physical activity, ie if i sweat. The sun alone won't bring it on, and as you suggest, it isn't effected in the cooler months, but grows & comes out when the above conditions prevail.
Avatar f tn I have tried to pay attention to certain foods. For the longest time I thought that it was the sun, because my arm was itchy in the summer, but the itch went away in the winter. I spoke to my doctor about it, but she just looked at me like I was crazy. No rash, just severe itch. ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar n tn The most frequent early symptom of Spongiotic Dermatitis is inflammation on the skin followed by visual aspect of blistering skin rashes, which are extremely noticeable and frequently have fluid inside the blisters.Due to excessive itching, there is often scarring on the affected areas, which on occasions will remain for life. Alternatively, you should immediately visit your doctor so that your condition can be properly diagnosed and evaluated and put forward an effective treatment program.

Avatar f tn Hi, I'm a 25 year old female who has been struggling with acne and itchy skin for 5 years now. I've been to several dermatologists that debate the diagnosis of Rosacea or just sensitive skin. I've been on all types of topicals and antibiotics with no relief from the itch. My face itches and feels tight practically everyday and seems to come and go in bursts of intensity. Some days it feels completely normal and then instantly becomes itchy and tight feeling.
Avatar f tn I am a red head with sensitive skin. I have a lot of outdoor allergies. I seem to get the rash on my arms. It's only come on or get worse when i'm in the sun. It stay on from spring through the summer. it itchy bad. It seem like get's worse when I'm driving and hanging my arm out the window. I don't go outside much and it's not that hot out yet. It's not from sweat because I'm sweating. could you help me I'm going to see an allergist in few week.
Avatar n tn Two of our three daughters have been experiencing, sudden lacey red rashes in areas of their skin exposed to the sun. This has never happened before. It comes on within 20-30 minutes of sun exposure. Could it be a washing powder or fabric softner which is causing their exposed areas to be more sensitive? It is really perplexing. The rashes are not itchy or painful at all. The girls just complain that the rashes are really hot. Thank You.
Avatar n tn Everytime my skin is exposed to the sun I find myself developing a small collection of pinprick spots with a red rash on both arms. This rash seems to always occur in the same place (the part of my arm near my elbow and my chest area) and are often soo itchy. I'm worried I may have a form or skin cancer as I got sunburned a few years ago. I do suffer from hayfever and I have had reactions in the past. How can I treat them, or better yet how can I avoid getting them.
