Avatar n tn I was just searching about Yaz and sun sensitivity. My summer has been pretty bad with trying to stay out of the sun. I get little raised bumps and then it itches. What about you?
Avatar n tn ve been unsong Yaz since 6 months and never noticed sunlight sensitivity. I tan, both at the seaside and at the tanning booth and everything seems to be alright!
Avatar f tn I am still having problems and I am wondering if there is any other help available for people who suffer with hives due to the sun? I try to apply sun block and stay covered up, but if I go swimming this is hard to do. My problems are made worse if I am out in the sun and I touch plants (weeding the garden). I have many environmental allergies as well.
Avatar m tn t know if it was the combination of swimming and the acne regiments that he has been doing, but now he has developed a sensitivity to the sun just on his face and neck. He describes it as a HOT frying pan sitting on his face the minute he is in the sun. It alters his mood because he is in pain. He has stopped swimming, stopped using any acne regiment, skipped any fun in the sun this summer, and sits in the dark. He has been diagnosed with a mild rosacea, is negative for lupus.
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 I have also had many tests to make sure the retina is not torn, etc. My doctor has been very thorough. However, I have sun sensitivity in the eye with the pvd which I am told is " normal, " sometimes. Can someone give me some insight into this? Should I be concerned, more careful to wear sunglasses, and so forth.
Avatar f tn Can HIV cause a person to be more sensitive to the sun?? ie get rashes and such??
Avatar f tn I am almost ready to go to the doctor for my depression and anxiety. Then, I started researching my pill (Yaz) and have found that these symptoms are likely related to this pill. I want to stop taking it and my husband is in support of that. However, I have read about terrible side effects from people that stopped, too. Anyone have experiences to share?
176741 tn?1295233989 Anyone have experience with photo-sensitivity? Basically a sun allergy that causes sun to react with chemicals in cosmetics, skin creams...even sunscreen? I am completely broken out in contact dermatitis. I was in the sun 7 days ago with sunscreen on. Anyplace I applied sunscreen and allowed sun to penetrate, I have a terribly bumpy rash. I've read that I should look for sunscreens using zinc oxide for future use. Have any of you dealt with this before? Rash is now on day 7...
577132 tn?1314266526 It's 11am here (Auckland NZ) and it's already 31 degrees outside and I feel like there are red ants crawling all over my scalp stinging me. I have currently got a frozen gel pack strapped to my forehead, it's straight out of the freezer and truly it feels like it is luke warm. It's like I have no thermal control anymore. I have always been a heat lover, but now I am becoming a sun hater. My skin has become radioactive and I have no cooling system...
Avatar n tn I could see that now my skin is very sensitive to sun and started getting brown and also shows sign of small dry skin kind of feeling. Any suggession / medicine to get rid of this issue.
Avatar f tn My son wears contact lenses since years, He always had trouble with bright light or sun( even when he was only wearing glasses) ,; with bright light or sun he has a hard time to keep his eyes open and at time can not see because he feels the light too bright even if light not that bright ( and his eyes also feel swollen at that time) My son says it is getting worse with years.
Avatar f tn I have been on Yaz bc pills for 4 months now and everything in the beginning was great. They helped regulate my periods, made them so much easier, shorter and lighter. That is until this month! I started my period April 11th, well it was pinkish. By monday morning it came down. Which was fine, regular period. Only one problem...IM STILL BLEEDING!! It has been 12 days! The first few days it was normal, and I only last 3/4 days. But then I kept bleeding.
Avatar f tn Hello, I have sort of an odd thing that has been going on for a couple of years. Every time I go out in the sun for a while I get really nauseas and weak. Headaches sometimes occur, but not as much as the nausea; my stomach gets really upset and sometimes I vomit. Yesterday it was a nice sunny day and I was outside for about a half hour and it happened. It lasts through the next day as well and is accompanied by even more weakness.
Avatar f tn ALSO consider i could have LUPUS with symptoms my whole life exacerbated by birth control, sun exposure, stress and menstruation.i want to believe that the lupus + excessive sun exposure could have been the cause of the symptoms? i am waiting for my results. my brain is in overdrive and i cannot function. its been a whole year. why did i wait...because i THOUGHT a test had been done at month 3.
640719 tn?1277140030 I too have the tingly burning sensation after 10 days on doxy and being at beach for one hr.. its on the tops of my hands and feet! If you don't want this feeling don t go in the sun! And I don't burn from the sun.. just finished meds today was on it for an abscecc brewing in my neck.. so I don't think its lyme disease related...
Avatar f tn Hey guys! It's Danielle and I stopped taking Yaz about two months ago, and I feel fantastic. The weight is going away slowly but surely, and my periods, although slightly irregular, have been better. I'm a bit more moody than before, Yaz always made me feel PMS when I shouldn't have though. Getting off the Yaz was the best thing I could have done!
2003235 tn?1327573387 Week ago I spotted red blood with clots - this lasted for two days, now back to dark brown discharge. I went off the pill Yaz in October last year as this was causing migraines. Once i was off the pill my period stopped and only came back this month in the new year. While having this light brown period I have had no period cramps at all, slight breast sensitivity-now there is none. Can someone please give me an idea on what this is & any suggestions. Im 24 years old. Thank you!!
Avatar f tn I went on vacation three months into tx and have been a sun tan person my whole life. First day in sun within an hour I got little red dots all over and they itched!! Stayed out of sun unless I had on light clothes. I asked this question when I got BACK from vacation! LOL. Someone suggested child's strength sun block after I mentioned smells make me nauseas. Be careful.
Avatar m tn Some of my friends tried to scare me saying that you can have your period and still be pregnant which made me worry so i took a pregnancy test about a week ago (about a month and a half after id had sex) and it was negative. I swithced my BC to YAZ recently and this is my first pack of pills. I'm a week and a couple days away from getting my period but wed-sun(today) ive been spotting, amd having clumps of blood fall out when I use the bathroom.
739294 tn?1235689667 I know folks can develop a sun sensitivity from some meds. I've never taken either of these you've mentioned. Years ago I did develop a sensitivity from BC pills. At work I noticed if I sat outside during lunch, by the time I came back in I had a rash all over my arms and face, tiny little bumps just where my skin was exposed.
