I am an african american female, I do not spend that much time in the sun at all.
Topical creams help only for a small period of time, but applying them irratates the swelling. This 'rash' sometimes accompanies a cold or bad allergies, but not all the time. In any of the instances I dont recall any new soaps, lotions, detergents, etc. Thank you for reading this.
PS. The picture I just took, symptoms started earlier today, so its not full blown yet.
