How do you treat Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis? I have a nastry red itchy rash on my chest. What should I use on it that I can get otc? Thanks, Reba >How do you treat Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >Thanks, >Reba Have you asked your doctor? I would try benadryl (diphenhydramine). It comes in a cream and little pills. Ora > How do you treat Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Thanks, > Reba Anaphylaxis is certainly more than a red itchy rash. It may be exercise induced urticaria (hives). Benadryl will work (topical or otherwise), but oral or by injection will cause drowsiness. If the rash lasts more than a couple of hours, you may well be misinterpreting your symptoms, and you should discuss this with your physician. Steve  SignatureMark & Steven Bornfeld DDS http://www.dentaltwins.com Brooklyn, NY 718-258-5001 It has been over a week. I do have sensitiv skin and allergies. I had gotten this years ago and it finally went away as I got more in shape. Now after years of not working out, its happening again. Just recently started working out again and get very over heated and even light headed a couple of times and quickly toned it down. So I am thinking it will go away again. In the past I had never put anything on it but calamine lotion. I read the article at: http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/2003/0603/sweeney.htm after doing a search for rash & exercise which is why I thought it may be this. Thanks, Reba After researching more, it may be "prickly heat". And in this heat, it has been hard to avoid sweating. http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/1998/01jan/leshaw.htm You may want to look at this link: http://www.emedicine.com/derm/topic266.htm (Has a lot of pretty pictures too) Good luck! >It has been over a week.

Trust me, you'll know when that happens. Like Steve said, it's not just a rash. Per Reba: >How do you treat Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis? When I anaphylaxed; it was rapid loss of conciousness and blood pressure below 50 - followed by an ambulance, IV saline, injected ephnephrine, benadryl... and three doctors taking me aside on separte occasions later to tell me that, by all rights, I should be dead. I don't claim much knowledge about this stuff, but a rash doesn't seem to fit the bill. SignaturePeteCresswell |
