the air-con in my house been borken for the past few days (outside temp 120F). i started noticing little clusters of painless/colorless/kind of firm&itchy&annoying pimples on the sides of my thumbs and index fingers. ive had it before but to a much lesser degree.
it got alot worse last night but thank god the air-con was finally fixed this morning and the rash started to disappear. is this heat allergy?

Have you ever heard of the term PRICKLY HEAT ? Thats what you got when your AC broke down almost everyone gets it in intense heat especially when you are used to being in an air conditioned enviorment all day long ! Nothing to worry about !
Take care and God Bless you !

I'm not sure it is an allergy, but certainly you did get a heat rash. You had to have been roasting in there!

it could be heat rash -- its kind of dry and itchy -- the more you scratch it the itchier it gets -- i don't think you can be allergic to hot.
