No they aren't necessarily lying, they probably have extra sensitive skin. Water has stuff added like chlorine and other stuff I don't know the name of, plus this time of year with the weather change, every one is prone to chafing. Chapped lips, wind burn etc. It is possible to irritate skin more easily. Sometimes they put extra treatments in the water system and that could make it worse also.

Allergic To Hot Water
2016-10-22 02:45:11 · answer #2 · answered by melville 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Generally highly hot water can cause some irritation and redness of skin, but lukewarm water (less than 50 degree celsius) will not cause any harm, as human skin is generally accustomed to that. But hot water from springs contain high amount of sulfur in it, which is likely to cause skin rashes and allergy to a majority of people. Sometimes chlorine present in water can also cause allergy. In case of such allergy, have a pheniramine maleate or cetrizine tablet, and you will feel better soon.

people can have allergies to anything: latex, beans, sunlight, may be even water. Or may be it's not the water allergy. May be it's something in the water a chemical or so that he's allergic to. May be he just has really sensitive skin. I saw a show on tv where some kid was allergic to most of the things in the world, including sunlight and water. That gotta suck huh.

Hot water is actually extremely drying to the skin - especially if the person doesn't moisturize heavily right after the shower while the skin is still damp. Extremely hot showers aren't necessary and cause this problem for LOTS of people.
*Freezerspider - you have dermatographia? I've only seen it a couple of times when I worked in a derm office. I know it's not "cool" for you, but it was interesting to me to see people with that condition!

This sounds like some kind of allergy to some type of soap, hair rinse or shampoo, not the water. You will just have to narrow it down to which one it is.

It's not an allergy to the water, but to the chemicals. Chemicals are different in heat. They're probably not fibbing, but just don't know it's not the water....

I have a condition called skin writing and I will have a reaction to extreme heat or cold, having something abrasive scratch my skin and ect ect. Some people have much more severe reactions than I do. I went to an allergist and found out I had it.
