Hello doctor, I have rashes all over the body from sauna visits I guess. I first noticed it three days ago. It started as bumps on ears and now they are all over my back, chest, neck, top of feet, knees and upper legs. Currently, I am taking Benadryl pills and topical cream.
Hi. I have gone through your case. It is an allergic reaction to the temperature and lights used in the sauna (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Please use Calamine lotion. Apply twice daily for seven days. Also, apply 1 % Hydrocortisone cream on as many lesions as you can at night. Only take a small amount. You can continue with Benadryl pills or use tablet Cetirizine 10 mg at night for seven days. Please avoid driving after Cetirizine as this induces sleep. Do not use any Dettol or safeguard or any other antiseptics. Try using mild soap. Wear only cotton shirts. For more information consult a dermatologist online -->
