skin rashes from sun

Been itching like mad! Had a week in the sun on vacation, wonder if the sun caused this insane itch?

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.

I have been getting skin rashes from my early childhood. These Rashes tend to come mostly during the Summer months of the year. They usually seem like a mosquito bite. They first occurs behind the ear, then around the neck, head scalp and spread to the back. Finally i get them even in my face. They are very itchy . They usually seem to have a cycle like 24 hours. They start by afternoon and get intense by evening and disappear while i sleep. The body gets heated up so much during that time.

I have tried to explain it as feeling like a chemical burn from the inside out. When the sun hits it even through the car window I feel myself cringing like a vampire in the light. I can't even open my eyes in the direct sun. I am fair skinned and I have felt almost a anxiety attack when I am stuck in the sun. Again like the vampire I want to flee. This was tough over the summer since my daughter was on swim team.

Aveeno lotion for short term relief. (no, i don't have stock in the company) Flaxseed oil capsules swiftly helped me. The itch is from hepatitis c, and was sheer nightmare all day long and night. Milk thistle helps too, but maybe for me it was the combo of them together, as i started milk thistle for 2 months but wammo, when i started flaxseed oil, it was almost overnight a blessed relief occurred. Good luck.

Hi, I have been getting tiny blisters/prickly heat type things on my face, lips and arms everytime my skin has prolonged exposure to the sun. I am not sure what these are? But, it mostly happens when its extremely cold, windy and specially in sun. My exposed skin turns red, my lips are swollen with allergy and its itchy everywhere. I underwent an allergy test and the dermatologist told that my body has atypical response to common allergens like dust mites and pollen.

Hello, Lamictal has shown skin adverse effects in the form of contact dermatitis,dry skin and increased sweating.So if the skin biopsy has shown the skin rashes in your case to be due to lamictal then its witdrawl can help you with the symptoms.You can also apply calamine lotion on the skin as it will help in soothing the skin. The half life of a drug means that the time it takes for a substance (drug, radioactive nuclide, or other) to lose half of its pharmacologic properties.

since last year having these rashes under arm pits and on the sides of bodywith.no itching,sometime gives burning sensation especially under the sun..suggest remedy,,is it fungal?

I live in FL. Lots of Sun. I was instructed by my Dr. to stay out of the Sun. When I do go out it seems to really irritate my skin. I, personally would not advise. I wait until night to go in my pool, or a least have yourself covered from direct sunlight.

Hi, Burning sensation of the skin over the face could be due to exposure to non suitable cosmetics, over exposure to sun, frequent washing of face leading to tightness and dryness of skin or it could be due to eczema or dermatitis. I would recommend that you maintain adequate hydration, use a good sun screen lotion, quit use of harsh chemicals which could be present in personal care products and consult a dermatologist for further confirmation on this. Best.

I mean my body itches then rashes start to appear.

There is usually a single large patch called a herald patch and after several days there will be more skin rashes which may appear on the chest, back, arms, and legs .In this condition there are pink or pale red oval patches which may/may not itch. Gentle bathing and mild hydrocortisone creams may be used to soothe the irritation. Seek the opinion of a dermatologist. A clinical examination will confirm the diagnosis. I hope it helps. Best of luck and take care!

If you have been taking the Incivek for 5 days and you have a rash, your rash may very well be from the Incivek. Of course it could be from the Ribavirain, but it could be from the Incivek. Regardless, get on top of it immediately. It can and will snowball out of control if you do not get it under control right away. You do not state how bad the rash is or if you are using anything on the rash.

I was one of the ones that could not have sun on my skin and I was on incivek. Since finishing the incivek 3 weeks ago it is not an issue anymore. yay. The sx sure affect us all differently. All the best for the rest of tx.

When I treated last time with Pegasysus, they told me to stay out of the sun and to make sure to wear sun block, riba and inteferons do not like direct sun, lots of drugs the same. We went to Turkey and I stayed loaded with sun screen and wore a hat! Ther eis also something called Lichen, Platen ? (sp) that is common with Hep C. I know very few people escape the riba rash, Mikkie may be right, it may be toxins trying to excape our bodies, kind of like night sweats.

your skin become sensative during treatment and direct sun rays feel you irritating and in some cases people develop skin rashes due to sun ( but not all, as me as well as all infected persons on treatment in pakistan to whome i met during my treatment , there were no rashes etc). During treatment some people feel better under normal sunlight ( not scorching of course) as you feel cold during treatment especially on injection night.

Now last two days i have a fever. It may be caused by BUG ? We have a bed bug problem in house. Generally the rashes disappearing two or three days.

● From the start of your therapy, use moisturising creams on your skin immediately after a shower and before going to bed. Look for moisturisers that do not have perfumes or preservatives and apply them gently. ● Use antidandruff shampoo on your scalp or as a body wash. ● Use anti-itch formulas of moisturising creams if the rash itches. ● Use colloidal oatmeal lotions. ● Wear loose-fitting clothing. ● Use a mild soap and avoid hot showers.

I have a really really bad problem with my skin. Whenever I go outside the sun, or the heater, in general wherever it's hot, my skin gets extremely prickly and it has many red bumps all over my body. I've tried many allergy medicines such as HYDROXYZINE HCL, DOXEPIN, FEXOFENADINE, XYZAL, ZYRTEC, but they didn't help the breakout at all. I think I'm not allergic with anything, because I already took the blood test, and everything appeared negatively.

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.

Hi, It all started in May 2013 after a pool party, where there was a large red circle on my right foot, which at first I took it as a sun burn as my skin turns bright red quickly in the sun. I ignored it until August when somebody suggested that maybe it was a ringworm and that I should put some Lotrimin anti-fungal cream. At the there were also two small dots closer to the toes which itched moderately and looked like mosquito bites.

Hello, Neurontin or gabapentin has photodermatitis,pruritis and skin rashes as it side effects.I would suggest you to consult your doctor and get the prescription changed. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep us posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.

I get burning or zits if I use the wrong skin creams, or both. I have to be cautious about sun exposure myself. I burn so easily.

If you get some rashes in different parts of your body: say the tear-duct or closest outer part of the eye, on the hands between the last knuckle on the fingers and the thickest part of the hand. It is also on the shaft of penis going towards the scrotum. For me it is only on one side. The rash is very white like dried skin but it is not I fear. What could this be and do you think it is fatal???? The rash by the eye does not hurt or ich.

I got some rashes on my legs yesterday after being in the sun for 7-8 hours. It was very hot and humid yesterday. Of course I wore sun screen and kept re-applying. Came home to find these random rashes on my legs. They do not itch at all and are not spreading or oozing. I didn't apply any creams or lotions. They are blotchy and made up of teeny tiny red dots.
