I hear you, Rebecca. I’ve had some issues with hives and rashes at points over the last year, and it’s terrible; especially on the face. Most lately, I’ve been sometimes waking up to find a HUGE itchy raised red welt somewhere on me; my leg… even my neck… but then, so far, within hours it absolutely disappears. It’s weird, and not really an issue, but my fear is instead of them quickly going away, someday I’ll find myself coated in them… When I was in the hospital, I had a butterfly rash variation, in that I would get a pattern of bright red on my (usually pale) cheeks. And visitors would remark cheerily on it. "Oh, you’ve got some color!" I hated that. "It’s not color!" I’d protest…(At least not "good" color…) Grace.

I hadn’t even thought of sunblock. It’s been so rainy, foggy, ….wintery here; I never even thought the sun could sneak up on me like it did. Live and learn I guess. Rebecca "Janers" <rojak…@bright.net> wrote in message

Rebecca Please when outside, wear a hat or at least use sun block. That might help the rash from getting out of hand for "some" of us. Then there are those that IT just is there. I personally do not have that butterfly rash, but have rashes on my head and back and hands and where ever LOL. But Once in a "blue" moon, and really NOT moom, it will pop out on my face. I have my car windows tinted and that helps. But generally do not go outside with out my hat or sun block. Try doing that and see if it helps. IF the rash gets to irritating? Get a dermy to see you. I use betamethazone on my rashes and it does tone it down some. That is prescription and cortisone cream. good luck. don’t be upset, just try to control it, with things to help hugs janers

I have only had fleeting facial rashes, one time that was shaped in rings! That was years ago. I do show a strong facial rash after I shower; it is in certain spots on my face that I can always note there is a barely perceptible color change. I have persistent erythema on my nose, neck and upper chest, and people are always mentioning that I "went out and got too much sun"! I always wear the Oil of Olay complete moisturizer with 15 sunblock; I have found it to be less sticky, less smelly, and good for my skin. Also sometimes an antifugal, such as nizoral can help. My brother had a persistent rash on his face, it went away completely with nizoral. just my two cents. Mary "Janers" <rojak…@bright.net> wrote in message

I can hardly believe this!! I went to the grocery store yesterday, and while driving home (in the beautiful sunlight) my cheeks started itching. I ended up with this rash on the right AND left side of my face! It looked kind of like hives that were a little bit flat. But definately a butterfly shape!! Then it just burned. Is this what this is?? I just about cried. I was hoping this would be the 1 symptom I didn’t get. It’s awful having to see something to remind you you’re sick. Rebecca

((((Rebecca)))) I’m sorry you got the rash now too. I have had exactly what you describe, like hives but flatter, and then just redness on the cheeks and forhead, and chin too sometimes, and it’s sometimes itchy and irritated. It’s a bummer to have to deal with yet another symptom. I don’t know if mine has anything to do with the sun, but I know it got really bad when I was going to school, and by the end of the day, under those danged flourescent lights, I’d get home and be so red with those flat bumps that you described. Yuck! But there are worse symptoms, right? I try to console myself with that fact. And maybe some chocolate. ;) -Sharon — Visit my webpage: http://www.qc.edu/~sperlof1/stills/webpage.html ~Integrity~ Integrity is one of the several paths.
