Question:
Is this weird or what?

I am 2 days away from being 9 weeks post-op and I had the weirdest thing happen to me. I went swimming in my friends pool Friday night and when I woke up Saturday I had some kind of rash all around my mouth and on my lips & chin. It itches and now it is spreading. One of my ears has bumps and is also itching. I woke up this morning with it on one of my eyes. I went hiking last Wednesday with my husband and could have gotten around some poisen oak, but in the past I usually broke out immediately if I came into contact with any. I also use Alpha Hydroxy on my face, or maybe I am allergic to the chlorine in her pool. I'm sure there was plenty in it cuz my eyes burned. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate hearing them. Thanks,    — allendepot1 (posted on July 31, 2000)

well, not so weird...I know some medications can make you light sensative (sun)... Same thing happened to me when I started tanning in May.. But it went away.. Not sure if this is your problem or not though.. You might ask your doctor..

Hi Lynell, It could be the alpha hydroxy. I think it has a warning on it about going in the sun. Hope this helps!
