Can Exposure To Sunlight And Heat Cause Itchiness And Swelling In The Neck?
I am a 60 year old female. I take Levothyroxine .05 for hypothyroid. I also have a vitamin D deficiency for which I am taking 3000 UID per day. Last week I was on vacation in AZ and had plenty of sun and heat. While there, I started to experience an itchy sensation on my neck. I am now back home and the itchy sensation has not gone away and is in fact stronger. There is no rash and lotions do not soothe it. I also seem to have a tin taste in my mouth.My husband commented that my neck seems bigger or fatter.Your thoughts?

Hello,
It may be due to sunburn.
For that you can apply ointment containing ceramide.
For itching you can take tablet loratidine.
Avoid sweating.
Maintain proper hygiene
