full body heat rash

I had RNY aug 13th 2008. I am covered in a heat rash that is driving me nuts. I itch all over. when I work out I get hot and feel like ants are crawling all over me. Part of my job is to be in a pool 2 days a week (I have done this for many years) but now when I am in the pool it really make me itch. I checked to see if the chemicals have changed but they have not. Could it be from the hormones from the weight loss?? has anyone had this happen? Family doctor said I need a steroid injection but not willing to do it because It could slow healing. Am I not healed after 3 months? I don't see bariatric Dr. for 3 more weeks. any suggestions?? thanks all
