Medical Forum / General / General / July 2004Extreme sunburn itch -> follow-up
Hello! You might remember me being the one to have suffered from abnormal itching-attacks after a rather 'ordinary' sunburn... They gave me anti-histamine, because they suspected an allergy of some kind... Well it turned out to be something COMPLETELY different: The excessive rain we've been receiving lately has caused sewer systems and the likes to flood, effectively poisoning the water I swam in! This caused the irritation and stinging itch... Thought I'd share it with you! - John  SignatureClear skies to you!

How do you know? Did you duplicate it (without the sun)..ie go back in swimming... J What a f.cking moron! If you blow up because you eat peanuts would you continue to eat them just to be sure? If the op went to any decent dermatologist his problem would have been identified and treated. There are numerous things that can cause this fungal type of skin irritation. Anti-histamines treat the effect (itching), but usually a topical cream is prescribed to get rid of the infection. Swimming in less than clean water is one of the most common causes. > How do you know? Did you duplicate it (without the sun)..ie go back in > swimming... > J > What a f.cking moron! You said it ! Plonk ! I love these morons who "plonk" anyone who disagrees with what they think, especially if you point out that their "methodology" is moronic. One month later they post "How come no one posts here any more?" Idiot > > What a f.cking moron! > > You said it ! > Plonk ! |
