Have Hive Like Itchy Red Bumps On Skin After Going Outdoor. Is It Sun Or Grass Allergy?
Hey I am a 15 year old boy, who loves to be outside. I recently have been going to volleyball camps 10-2 and each week I return the exposed skin develops hive- like ichy, red bumps. mainly concentrated on my knee, bottom of my forearm, after about 8 hours after I get home. Is this some sort of grass or sun allergy? Also this is just a recently occurring issue, I did cross country running in the fall and nothing like this happened. I cover myself with spf 50 sunscreen before I went to play. Can I get a diagnosis, also how can I continue to attend outdoor activities while avoiding this issue? A reply would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
William
