What Causes Rashes All Over Body Post Sun Exposure?
Question: whenever i have a hot food or when exposed to sun i get rashes all over for some time an it dissapears also i feel very irritated, if i consume heat items i get boils all over for some time an then back to normal, do i need to do a blood test, as im takin Atarax 25 mg
Brief Answer:
Sun exposure, allergy, need to see a dermatologist
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic. I see that you have sensitivity to the sun and tend to break out in skin eruptions. These are signs that you are allergic to something in your environment and yes, excessive sun exposure can be it. Atarax is a very strong drug that SHOULD in theory help with your problem, But will also cause severe fatigue and sleepiness.
For now, I would suggest you use a cream like Lycor 1% (1% hydrocortisone) on any area that has a rash to bring down the inflammation. Then i would seek the advice of a dermatologist to try and test you for which environmental components are causing your problem. You may need to take more than 1 kind of antihistamine (similar to atarax) to combat the problem. But a dermatologist is the best bet for you.
If you would like you can use your corporate portal and ASK A SPECIALIST and make it a dermatologist if you want to communicate with one directly.
I hope this helps,
Vinay
