sun or heat allergies?

I wouldn't waste anytime getting to the doctor for a diagnosis and a referral to a skin specialist. I had a skin condition that was misdiagnosed as a form of Shingles for 2yrs. As it turned out we have now found out its a form of Lupus that effects the skin called Discoid Lupus. They don't know what causes this but it is worsened and sometimes kick started in the 40 plus age group by direct sunlight and Heat. There are many things it could be but best to rule out all the nasties as soon as possible. Good Luck.

Actually sounds like heat rash. Keep the skin dry, and try to find a type of medicated powder such as Gold Bond Or Fissars

You could be just having a rash from heat. It could also be allergy to the laundry soap that you're using. Try to chage your laundry soap and rinse clothes well. Or irritation from too tight clothing.

Three possibilities spring to mind. The most likely one is polymorphous light eruption (PLE). It's the most common cause of a sun-induced rash, and the way you describe it sounds like PLE. Other two possibilities are cholinergic urticaria (hives due to heat) and solar urticaria (hives due to sun). \n\nMost sufferers of PLE are female. The lesions occur several hours to days following sun exposure and subside within a 7-10 days if there is no further exposure. Lesions are small, itchy, and occur only on areas exposed to the sun. My husband has a hereditary form of PLE, and his arms are covered in an itchy, bumpy rash all summer long. Luckily, for some reason PLE often does not affect the face.

Most new sufferers are young men, but it can strike women as well. Hives are small, itchy, and appear soon after exposure to something which raises temperature - being out in the sun, getting into a hot car, taking a hot shower, strong emotions such as embarrassment or anger, sweating, exercise, etc....\n\nSolar urticaria is very rare and is caused by exposure to certain ultraviolet rays. Hives develop minutes after exposure, and resolve quickly (less than an hour).\n\nI'd stay away from the Kombucha, by the way. I know a few people who developed chronic kidney disease from using that junk. All of them are facing eventual kidney failure and dialysis.

possibly could be caused by allergies.

You should do a skin patch test. Put a little bit on the inside of your elbow (turn your arm around, put it in the little denty bit). Leave it there for 24 hours, if it's not itchy or blotchy it should be fine for you. An SPF 50 will more than likely block out the sun completely. An SPF 15 is generally best (according to my sister).

I get sun rash really easy.  So what I do is get an SPF 50 or higher, and use that before I go out.  It keeps my rash to a minimum.  But if I don't use sunblock I usually use Noxema to calm my overheating skin down.  I try to stay outta the sun and wear long sleeves.

Check the ingredients in the sunlotion.  It could be worse than regulating your time sensibly in the sun.  Where a hat and appropriate clothing too protect you from the sun naturally.  They say that the sunscreen is too be avoided.  Research is recommended.

vitamin D since you'd want to advoid the sun.  Also, you might want to avoid heat. It can cause fatigue.  Look up erythema ab igne.  Sun tan lotion traps in heat

An allergy perhaps?  Hayfever?

It depends on what allergy you're talking about. Skin rash? Food allergies? Cooties and girls?\n\nAs far as I know, allergies are different for each and every person. Like me for instance - I don't have any food allergies but I break into rashes when I get really sweaty and hot. It all depends on who and what allergies you are talking about.\n\nSo what do I know about allergy? I know that allergies are bad, and sometimes you can get rid of them with a shot. I also know allergy can also be triggered through mental psychosis or through physical contact. And I also know, a very good line about allergy:\n\n"I'm sorry, I'm allergic to bullsh**."\n-Detective Spooner (Will Smith), I Robot

Yes. It's not an allergy to the fan, it's because the fan is stirring up the allergy particles, dust, dirt, etc. I suffered from this for years till my Dr. told me to stop sleeping with a fan running. It aggravates allergies.
