Have you asked your doctor? I would try benadryl (diphenhydramine). It comes
in a cream and little pills.

Anaphylaxis is certainly more than a red itchy rash. It may be
exercise induced urticaria (hives). Benadryl will work (topical or
otherwise), but oral or by injection will cause drowsiness. If the rash
lasts more than a couple of hours, you may well be misinterpreting your
symptoms, and you should discuss this with your physician.

It has been over a week. I do have sensitiv skin and allergies.

I had gotten this years ago and it finally went away as I got more in
shape.

Now after years of not working out, its happening again. Just recently
started working out again and get very over heated and even light
headed a couple of times and quickly toned it down.

So I am thinking it will go away again. In the past I had never put
anything on it but calamine lotion.

I read the article at:
http://www.physsportsmed.com/issues/2003/0603/sweeney.htm

after doing a search for rash & exercise which is why I thought it may
be this.

Thanks,

Reba

After researching more, it may be "prickly heat". And in this heat, it
has been hard to avoid sweating.

Yep, doesn't sound like anaphylaxis. Trust me, you'll know when that
happens. Like Steve said, it's not just a rash.

When I anaphylaxed; it was rapid loss of conciousness and blood pressure below
50 - followed by an ambulance, IV saline, injected ephnephrine, benadryl... and
three doctors taking me aside on separte occasions later to tell me that, by all
rights, I should be dead.

I don't claim much knowledge about this stuff, but a rash doesn't seem to fit
the bill.
