Have hive like itchy red bumps on skin after going outdoor. Is it sun or grass allergy?
Patient: Hey I am a 15 year old boy, who loves to be outside. I recently have been going to volleyball camps 10-2 and each week I return the exposed skin develops hive- like ichy, red bumps. mainly concentrated on my knee, bottom of my forearm, after about 8 hours after I get home. Is this some sort of grass or sun allergy? Also this is just a recently occurring issue, I did cross country running in the fall and nothing like this happened. I cover myself with spf 50 sunscreen before I went to play. Can I get a diagnosis, also how can I continue to attend outdoor activities while avoiding this issue? A reply would be much appreciated. Thank you,William Doctor: might be grass or pollen allergy as sun triggers allergies and also exercise triggers it sunscren can prevent you can take antiallergic tab regularly and apply calamine bd till your camps and can find out cause by consulting allergy specialists
