malar rash- even more itchy when sweating?

[thisismyusername13]

hi. I woke up with a malar rash august 23 and it’s been here since. It’s mild - it almost looks like I just have rosy cheeks/over my nose. I’ve had a couple days in between, specially after sitting under my dentist’s fluorescent light for an hour as the hygienist slowly did her work and updated my X-rays, where it was extremely inflamed. On the days it’s been more mild, up close you can see the edges are slightly raised/inflamed. It’s all symmetrical. Anyway, it’s been mildly itchy. But I find when I’m exercising and I get sweaty, it’s so uncomfortably itchy. Does anyone else find sweat makes their rash even more itchy? What do you do to help?

Hi my name is Wolf,I went through this when I could still go to the gym and had not just the rash over my nose but all over my back, chest and on my shins. After a shower I literally had to lay down on my bed either in absolute agony with a burning sensation or an itchy feeling all over to the point of making my skin bleed. This was with a cool shower, warm shower or hot shower, the temperature didn’t matter and neither what I washed myself in. Trust me I tried every product under the sun. One night during one of these attacks my granddaughter was sleeping over and I noticed she had Sudocrem for her nappy rash. I applied copious amounts over my affected areas and the ichyness stopped within seconds. So I then used to go to my gym have a shower, drive quickly home and apply Sudocrem. I now only get the rashes very rarely and haven’t had a rash on my face for about 15 years but when a rash does appear I have my Sudocrem handy! It worked for me. I also take Fexofenadine 180 mg for any allergies that may cause the rash. I don’t mind taking it as it goes with all the other tablets I’m taking and one more doesn’t really bother me now. I hope this helps a little.

Keep Well, Keep Safe and Keep Fighting!

All my best Wolf_1 🐺🦋😞💤
