Question 1

what is this permanent rash across my forehead and behind my ears and around my nose? it itches when i sweat. my skin peel on fingers and feet.

Accepted Answer

Dermatologist: Have you consulted a dermatologist? This chronic eruption may be seborrheic dermatitis. In any event,since the rash is persistent, a dermatologist is best qualified to evaluate and treat you.

Question 2

when i get hot my skin sweats and itches?

Accepted Answer

Normal: That is a normal response of the skin.  It allows dissipation of heat.

Question 3

why does my sweat irritates and itches my skin?

Accepted Answer

Mostly from drying: There is that histamine release in people who exercise for the first time after prolonged time of not doing it. This opens up the blood vessels to allow evaporation and get rid of the heat. The histamine is an allergy component that allows other same chemicals to be released and cause itching but the drying and evaporation also causes the itching effect.

Question 4

hello i have a skin issue when i sweat my body itches and i have alergy all over my body but it lasts for hour or two.and my body heats up?

Accepted Answer

: Do you develop hives or a rash during these symptoms? Prickly heat or cholinergic urticaria are possibilities when heat gets trapped in your body or skin. Do anti antihistamines help resolve the symptoms?  Do take off your sweaty clothes for one thing. A dermatologist is best to evaluate &amp; advise you. Any appropriate testing will be ordered.

Question 5

my son continuously itches his hair and head especially when he sweats. he has no lice and no dandruff . what might be causing it ?

Accepted Answer

Possible Fungus: Of the 5 common causes for itchy scalp (Seborrhea (dandruf), Psoriasis (inflammation), Fungus (ring worm), Head Lice, and Allergy), Fungal seems most likely. Try using an Anti-fungal shampoo or scalp cream. The pharmacist should be able to point out one that is safe for your son's age. Follow the directions on the shampoo. If this does not help, you should have his scalp examined. Hope this helps!

Question 6

skin itching from body's own sweat. would a powder work?

Accepted Answer

Not really: Dry it up, cool it down. That's the best you can do. Power mixed with sweat would make it more messy.

Question 7

rashes on skin which increase and start itching on excessive exposure to sunlight, heat and sweat.

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Generally any type of rash worsens with heat exposure and sweating. It can be urticaria or eczema but also can be other kinds of rashes. You need to have a doctor look at it to determine what it is.

Question 8

took a trip to the beach and got severe heat rash leading to itching. does psych medicine cause skin to not sweat and create heat rash? treatments?

Accepted Answer

Drug reaction.: There is no indication that the drugs you are on have made you more sensitive to the sun exposure. Be sure you are not on st johns worts which may make one more sensitive to the sunlight.  It is remotely possible that a very high dose of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may reduce your sweating but it will have to be more than 10 times the average dose . I suspect your rash is from something else.

Question 9

i am experiencing genital itching, genital rash, genital pain, night sweats, thigh rash and skin rash. i am a transgender male, hope that helps thanks?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: There are far too many causes of skin rash, including those that involve the genital area, to even guess at the cause in this case. The rash/itching may be unrelated to sweating at night, and none of it has anything to do with being trans. FYI, the large majority of genital skin rashes are not herpes or any other STD. See a doctor, ideally a dermatologist.

Question 10

intense itching under breasts and groin. scratching can rub a lot of the skin off leaving a red and raw area that burns but still itchy. no pus. i do sweat a lot. should i try anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, or hydrocortisone cream?

Accepted Answer

See dermatologist: This is not so uncommon in females and diabetics and those who might be somewhat overweight. Suggest you try oatmeal baths, available in powder form otc at the pharmacy along with loose fitting clothes. There is also zeasorb powder that may be applied to the affected area after bathing that might absorb some of the sweat and lessen the itching.  See dermatologist.
