katiebear21 0 #1 August 3, 2005 I must be getting punished for something I have (or at least think I have) the WORST ever heat rash!!! I started feeling it around 10 am this morning sitting in my office. By the time 2 came around, I was covered! It's hot, red, and a little itchy but it's definitely not poison ivy. I'd take pics and post but most of the inflammation is where my clothes were tight all day (waist, knees, bra-line, and my entire back.) My hips and bikini line are incredibly swollen and red. Interesting visual, huh? I've not changed my detergent and I wasn't even in the sun today much. I'm crawling out of my skin here so I took a triple dose of benadryl and covered myself in a thick coat of hycracortizone cream and am having a glass of wine. I can't even wear any pants right now it's so bad. Anyone got any good home remedies??? Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #2 August 3, 2005 Send Chuck to the store for some Aaveno, the stuff you soak in when you're in the bathtub that helps sooth the skin. It worked wonders for the kids when they got the chicken pox. You can even still drink your wine in the tub too!

katiebear21 0 #3 August 3, 2005 Ooh, that sounds good. Unfortunately, Chuck's gone for the next 3 weeks and I'm running around pantless right now. I just took another 2 benadryl and poured my 2nd glass of wine. Either it will knock me out or I'll be posting like the whore I used to be!

skymama 35 #4 August 3, 2005 Do you have any oatmeal? That's kind of what Aaveno is. Put some talcum powder or cornstarch on the affected areas before you dress tomorrow. Benadryl and wine...I'm sure you'll be asleep in no time! I hope it feels better soon! Edit: Ooh, I forgot, baking soda will work in the bath too.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightingale 0 #7 August 3, 2005 hmm... Do you have an urgent care or doctor you can go to? There's a lot of different things that can cause rashes, so there's a lot of different ways to treat them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waltappel 1 #8 August 3, 2005 Quotehmm... Do you have an urgent care or doctor you can go to? There's a lot of different things that can cause rashes, so there's a lot of different ways to treat them. Agreed. If it *is* heat rash, try cornstarch to keep your skin dry. It will help clear it up. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydiva1998 0 #14 August 4, 2005 Actually, it sounds like you have hives. Especially if it is worse where your clothes are tight against your body. They are caused by some type of allergy and Claritin actually has a pill you can take called Hives Relief. You will find it on the shelf near all the other itch type creams like benadryl and hydrocortizone.
