grimrose_eilwynnWhat I thought was a sunburn has developed into a heat rash. My chest is blotchy, itchy, and warm to the touch.
So I looked up the psychiatric medications I'm on and found out one of them can make a person sensitive to the sun. I just doubled that particular medication recently, because I was having some stray delusional thoughts. I guess I shouldn't have done that and then gone out exercising and swimming in the heat of the day.
So now I can only go out exercising before 10 AM and after 5 PM. I'm hoping that will do it and the rash will go away. Rashes when on medications can be dangerous when they're not caused by something like sunlight or poison ivy, so I'm a little nervous.
