Skin condition that no on can figure out

Posted , 3 users are following.

I would love some input from anyone, I have a condition to where if I take a shower, sweat, get rained on, or swim it feels like fire ant are stinging and it last for 30-40 minutes after. It all starts once I start drying off. I've been to specialist and no one knows or can help, I have 3 kids and can't even run around or swim with them because of this.

    Sounds like a nerve condition. Have you tried something like amitriptyline to damp down the neuropathic response?

    So if you wash your skin at a sink with water this happens?

    Does sound like a nerve issue. However take one or two chewable kids benedril and try the water a half hour later to rule out allergies. Expose yourself to the minimum amount of water that you normally get a reaction. Have you always had this issue also are you on any medication. It could be soap residue on your skin that everytime you get it wet it reactivates
