How do I get rid of my allegric reaction to humidity?

Question

First of all, I'm not allergic to the sun.
I used to joke that I'm a vampire, but I found humidity is the catalyst not the sun.
In wintertime I have no problems.

During the summer, when I am outside for any period of time, my skin becomes very itchy.
Usually this involves my face, ears, neck and arms. Basically anything exposed.
My skin doesn't change its appearance (it doesn't break-out or blister, etc). It only turns red when I start scratching it (and the itch is really overwhelming).
Also, I don't go tanning. Though I always use sun-block if the need arises. Sun-block doesn't help with relieving the amount of itchiness.

So what can I do to to stop my allergic reaction?
It really makes summer no fun for me.

Answer 1

I don't think you can be allergic to the amount of water vapor in air...but see a dermatologist or allergist to see what about sun exposure causes your symptoms...

Answer 2

Are you sure it's humidity and not grass, dirt or pollen in the air? I've never heard of anyone being allergic to humidity before.

You might somehow be allergic to your own perspiration, though, and that could be caused by foods you eat or the soap you use and when you perspire, your skin reacts to it.

About the best thing you can do is move to west/southwest TX, NM or AZ where it is very dry. You will still perspire, though, so it would be interesting to see how you would do out there.

Good luck ~ allergies can be a bear

You cannot get "rid" of anger. you have to be trained to permit it out in a healthful but valuable means. Find whatever that may alleviation you, like exercises or tune or studying. you have to paintings difficult and it does not come comfortably. The first step for you is to be trained easy methods to MANAGE this anger ( ex: anger leadership categories...) then you definately have to begin considering approaches to aid you restrict this anger.

Answer 4

Go to an allergist!!! Use a dehumidifier inside. Maybe the sunblock you are using is causing the itching??? This happens to me, with certain sunblocks.
