Since i dah berzaman xmenulis dlm blog ni so today i will share one story (story ke? ye la story i la), related to your own sweat. Anyone developed an allergy that normally comes around when you sweat? I do. Yes. and that is why I hate sports activities or any activity that will lead my entire body to sweat. (alasan je.. hehe. padahal mmg malas bersukan pastu complaint kata gemok la, penat la etc..).
Okay this is what i found in internet related to sweat and skin allergy.
Cholinergic urticaria (CU) is one of the physical urticaria (commonly referred to as hives), which is provoked during sweating events.
CU typically presents with a number of small, short-lasting hives but may also involve cutaneous inflammation (wheals) and pain which develops usually in response to exercise, bathing, staying in a heated environment, or emotional stress. Although the symptoms subside rapidly, commonly within 1 hour, CU may significantly impair quality of life, especially in relation to sporting and sexual activities.
As what the article said, I experienced the not so short lasting hives which is not comfortable at all especially when you are in office doing some works in front of your desktop while your hand scratching your neck without noticing that other collegues staring at your "activities".
The hives (gatal2) really make me suffer during the period it attack, normally during hot weather and it will repeated every year whenever the hot weather strike. I've been put on a medication that keeps this from happening but before found a suitable medicine, I will run through all the not suitable medicine until I found one. After I found the correct medicine (cream), the gatal2 will gone immediately and then I will forget the name of the cream. (Apela teruk sgt ingatan ku ni.. sob, sob).
In the eraly stage when I first introduced with this gatal2, I tried this medicated powder- Agnesia. Most of you must heard abouth this name or brand before.

Betamethasone cream is a medicine used to treat skin infections. Typical skin infections treated by creams containing this medication include athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm. This cream alleviates itching and redness associated with infection.
When betamethasone is linked with clotrimazole, the two become a corticosteroid and antifungal combination. This mixture attacks fungi, weakening the cell membranes. The cream serves as an anti-inflammatory and anti-itching agent. The official brand name of a common betamethasone-clotrimazole combination is Lotrisone®.
When a physician prescribes this cream, the patient should use it as directed. First, the patient must wash his hands before applying the cream. Next, he must thoroughly wash and dry the area to be treated. After the area is prepared, rub the cream into the irritated area.
The patient should never place a bandage over the treated area unless directed by his physician. If using a medication containing betamethasone cream in the groin area, the cream must only be used for about two weeks. Only a small amount of cream should be used in the groin area, and the patient should avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing. The cream is for external use only and should not be applied to the eyes, mouth, nose, or vagina. If the cream accidentally gets inside the eyes, the patient should immediately flush them with cool water.
The medicine needs to be used on a set schedule for the full course of treatment. It should continue to be used even if the patient begins to feel better after a few days. If the patient does not use it for the full course of treatment, the infection may not be completely eliminated and can eventually return. If a patient forgets to use a dose, he should use the next dose of cream as soon as possible. Once a patient begins using this specific medication, he should tell his physician if the condition continues after two weeks have passed.
All medications can produce unpleasant side effects, so it's important to be aware of potential problems that may arise because of using a medication containing a betamethasone cream. Common side effects include dry skin and a burning or stinging sensation where the cream was applied. Severe side effects that would require a trip to the emergency room include severe allergic reactions such as hives, rash, difficulty in breathing, swelling, bruising, redness, oozing, blistering, and other chronic problems.
Women who become pregnant while using a medication that includes betamethasone cream should speak with their doctor before continuing this medication. It's important to discuss any potential risks involved. Children less than 17 years of age should not take a combination of clotrimazole and betamethasone cream since it has not been determined if the medicine is safe for children.
So after three applications only, my neck now become normal and younger as before. Thankss to Allah SWT. Now i can finish my works without scratching here and there.
Ok readers till then.
Signing out.
