Help! Water gives me a rash?!
Question: Help! Water gives me a rash.?
When I get in the shower/bath I get these rashes all over my chest and neck. They itch quite a bit but go away after about 15 mins to 1 hour after getting out of the water. I have quite sensitive skin. I got them for the first time in about july when I was visiting my Nan and since then they have come back whenever I come in contact with water. They look like lots of little red patches.
Am I allergic to water or something.? I'm so confused. Please help. :) Thanks. xxHealth Question & Answer

it is possible you are allergic to water...i watched this document of a girl allergic to it...
she could only have 5 min showers and used that hand-gel stuff ...like water..
i would say don't spend that long in it....

Ok- 2 possibilities I am thinking.
1) You have changed you body wash. If so this could be the cause and you should try a new body wash, maybe you are allergic to this.
2) You have the water on too hot. Turn the water on lukewarm and get in the shower. Do not rub yourself dry when you get out of the shower, pat yourself dry, it helps to retain the moisturizer.
Now--here are some questions that may help. Do they only come out when You bathe.? Or do they also come out when you go swimming.?
If so, then I would reccomend seeing your dermotologist, they will be able to help you solve this mystery!
Good luck!Health Question & Answer

It is more likely you're allergic to a shampoo or soap. It might also be a sensitivity to hard water. You say you have sensitive skin, so do I, and a lot of things irritate my skin. Softened water is not one of them, but hard water sure is. also, it is possible you live in an area where the tap water might be too chlorinated for your sensitive skin. That turned out to be the real problem for a friend of mine who insisted she was allergic to water.Health Question & Answer
you are unlikely to be allergic to water. perhaps you have been sensitised by something else, and the warmth is bringing it out. Please think if you ahve used different washing liquid or something......Don't use anything in the bath, except E45 bath stuff. it sounds like mild excema or dermatitis.

maybe to many chemicals in your water supply.? try filtered water on the inside of your wrist, if nothing happens after ten mins try the same thing again with normal tap water, if there is no difference then you most likely are, you can go to your doc for a blood test which they will test for any allergy's
