Skin allergy?
I have that too. I went to the dermatologist. He gave me a really strong cortisone. It was gone in 2 days. I think it's eczema.
Reply:I get light rashes when the warm times hit. I especially get them after I put SPF on or I've been out in the sun too long. Cool compresses and hydrocortisone cream tend to work for me. If they are uncomfortable enough, then I would definitely suggest you see a doctor.
Reply:.Go to the doc, it's not a normal sun burn and needs to be treated
Reply:You might have what is called photosensitivity (what many refer to as a sun allergy). There are also several subtypes of this problem that require different treatments. You can google "photosensitivity" and you will get lots of articles that explain all about it. I would check it out, and if it doesn't go away, definitely go see your doctor! My husband has a type of photosensitivity and gets a rash at the beginning of the summer every year. His doctor has given him medication in the past that makes it go away. Good luck!
Reply:Sounds like dry skin. What are you washing your hands with throughout the day-change it up and see if anything different happens.
Reply:Sounds like eczema, you can either visit a pharmacist or dermatologist for treatment.
