I've had this rash on my neck for the past week or so.. it's spreading down my chest area and hands...parts of my face. It looks like Hives...but I'm not sure if it is. My GP is away for another week and can't see him... could you get hives from gabapentin...it's the only med that is a new med for me...
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 I would call the pharmacy - they know much more than Drs about drug interactions!! The other thing it could be is neurological... especially if the hot area does not have a rash.
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 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 m tn I always get a rash on my legs from doing too much walking in the heat. But that was before treatment.
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 f tn can high heat outdoors cause chills, weakness, sinus headaches, hot flashes, loose stools, even though patient stays indoors
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 n tn Hi, This could either be a heat rash or a drug reaction.Medicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with Norethisterone. Because a side effect is stated here, it does not mean that all people using this medicine will experience that or any side effect.
Avatar n tn Cholinergic urticaria is a subcategory of physical urticaria ( hives) that is a skin rash brought on by a hypersensitive reaction to body heat. Symptoms follow any stimulus to sweat such as exercise, heat from the sun, saunas, hot showers (reaction to water can also indicate water urticaria) or any stimulus that causes an increase in body temperature. All urticarias are caused by an elevated histamine release by the body's mast cells.
Avatar n tn I took Lithium ER for about at year & at first I would break out in hives or a rash when I would get too hot. During the summer months I would break out in hives if I stayed out in the sun too long or became over-heated as well. This symptom didn't disappear, but it did happen less & less the longer I took it (I noticed too that under great deals of stress or fatigue I would break out as well).
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).
Avatar n tn Turns out to be prickly heat rash, day three and starting to fade. She had a heat rash, we worked up a real sweat, and heat rash is now confirmed another STD. Although this wasn't to bad a price to pay for the time spent. All other situations considered. Thank you everybody and love this room for the info.
Avatar n tn Facial Rash... a fine rash - looks more like blushing -seems to be triggered by adrenaline. (stress, even small stress). Pink on sides of neck (mostly on left) just about all the time and itchy shoulder and back. I don't smoke and I was tested negative for chemicals. I do not have extra exposure to sun or heat.
1380526 tn?1292839385 I have tried vicodin, gabapentin, nortryptyline (sp), and a myriad of over the counter stuff, like Alleve, Tylenol, etc. I'm just not getting much relief at all!!!! Thanks!
Avatar n tn Atopic dermatitis may be considered here.Your rash appears to be triggered by heat and the incidence reverts spontaneously after a few minutes once in a cooler environment. I suggest that you have this assessed by an allergologist or clinical immunologist. An atopic reaction has to be ruled out. At this point avoid exposure to extreme heat and take frequent baths to cool the body.You may use mild moisturizers with menthol and camphor for cooling effects .
