Prickly Heat

[lucky]

I have started having a stinging sensation on my upper body when the temp. rises. The sunshine seems to make it worse. I have not had a major breakout of sores etc and when I come back in the Air Conditioner it immediately goes away.

I guess it could be called Heat Rash or Prickly Heat but little to no Rash develops.

Has anyone had to deal with this issue? This is a 1st for me. Do you have any secrets to make this go away or how do you deal with it. It is hard to stay inside but the temp. here has been 100-105 for weeks. I wonder if some of my meds are causing this? Anyway HELP.

check your meds Lucky some of my meds tell me to stay out of the sun...I get burnt easy being a red head and then the meds make me itch like crazy...in fact I take promethazine to help with the itching.

Lucky, some of my meds cause the same sensation.. I am always one to tan in the sun, but with the doxycylin alone causes me to burn/itch in the sun... Infact many would believe durring the summer I would be from a different race......
