100* Temps Heat Rash
Rode 80 miles today. 100* Temp on the bike. Road temps up to 120* - 140*
Getting Heat Rash on both legs. Anyone else experience this ? http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...00Temp0023.jpg |
Ouch! Do you know a good dermatologist?
|
I ride just about every day in Katy and I've been using sun block. Like Louis said, I think you should see the doc.
|
Ouch is right!
Do you have that beautiful three-leafed plant down there? |
my guess is 57 years.

+1 Sometimes medications can make you more sensitive to sunlight. It happened to me but on my face. I swelled up like a pumpkin. I looked like a pie face.
It should subside in a few days. Soak in a cool bath for some relief. You'll feel much better. :) |

Yep, I've had the same problem quite a few times. Mine usually goes away in a day or two. One of the causes of this can be medications you're taking. I always apply cold compresses to mine. Here's a website that has information that might help. If it doesn't clear up in a couple days you should see your doctor. He might be able to help prevent it from happening again.

I get it from the Road Heat. Used to get it doing security patrols of parking lots. Tried back then using knee high socks. That didn't help. No Pain, itching or swelling.
Thanks for your response. |

I did a 50 miler Friday in this heat and when I got back, you could fry an egg on my feet. I can't wait for winter :D
Are you riding The Katy Flat Lands? |
Looks like what happens to my arms if I get too much sun....
Purple blotches from capillaries rupturing. Looks terrible, no itch, no pain, just ugly. SPF 50 helps, but not completely. |
Budreaux' Butt Paste...16% zinc oxide may help the rash. Though if its a sun burn like problem, aloe vera and products with aloe in the probable will help take the sting out. Sunblock or long pants may be the best preventative.

As Botto has affectionately stated, you can also use it on toast for a tasty snack. |

No Medications. It does go away, but shows up with Temps pasted 90*. Mine usually appeared if I was on antibiotics or prednisone for poison ivy. I also found one brand of sunscreen that would cause the problem for me. |

I wonder if it's something on the road that your tires are throwing up at your legs and the heat just makes it makes it worst.
I ride in the heat everyday and take lots of meds and I'm ok. My face burns a little from the sun @ times. |
