(Concern) My health concern is sun allergy.

Honestly, this concern is not really mine.

At first, it was my husband's concern.
During school days, I didn't spend that much time outdoors, so I didn't even realize I had allergies.

During military training, I experienced itching on my face and body and wondered why it was happening. I thought I could endure it and that it would get better, so I ignored it. However, gradually my skin turned red, and a bumpy rash appeared. Eventually, I developed hives all over my body, so I visited the hospital.

They were informed that the symptoms were caused by sunlight allergy at that time.

Because the symptoms are severe, they were prescribed a steroid cream to apply to the affected area and also received medication.

My husband is still using steroid cream.

 

Sun allergy symptoms are said to appear on areas exposed to sunlight such as the neck, face, arms, and legs, but my husband experienced it all over his body, not just the exposed areas, including his back and chest.

When symptoms appeared due to sunlight allergy, the itching was so severe that I couldn't sleep at night.

 

Sun allergy at the hospital has not yet been definitively linked to a specific cause, but they mentioned that sunlight is the main factor, although there are also genetic factors involved.

 

At that time, I dismissed those words as unlikely.

But as expected, he appeared suddenly.
You understand the part I am 고민하는, right?

 

At first, I denied that it wasn't, but then I developed a rash accompanied by itching all over my body, like my husband.
As someone who has watched my husband's difficult moments from the side, I felt very upset thinking that my child might suffer from the same illness.

I went to the hospital immediately, and it turns out our first child also has sun allergy. Due to the itching, they prescribed Lidomax.
Since Ridomax is a steroid cream, it cannot be used daily, and due to potential side effects, it should be applied for four days followed by a rest period.

I can't wear a hat to school, so I apply sunscreen and send her off to school.

On hot and sunny days like last month, they inevitably develop rashes on their body and feel very itchy, which makes them quite uncomfortable.

Honestly, I heard that applying Ridomax doesn't actually cause itching.

Still, since the pain eases, I put on ointment, but my heart breaks.

This upcoming summer is now becoming frightening.

 

Sun allergy is said to be difficult to cure.
I'm worried that it might get worse like my husband, so I'm even more concerned.
