Re: [QUAD-L] red bumpy skin after sun

[Stacy Harim]

I don’t wear shorts.  I make sure to wear thin pants.  Between my thighs being  a little chubby, having a catheter and the stockings for circulation, short don’t look very nice on me.  I tan my upper half.   Stacy ----- Original Message ----- From: Win To: Quad-List Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 1:14 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] red bumpy skin after sun I first started to answer this 10 minutes ago, but after thinking about it, I realized that I might have been taking medications 20-30 years ago when I used to enjoy going out in the sun. So, I really don't know if the red blotches I used to get were due to the drugs or not. (I forget how long ago it was when I gave up on taking all the drugs the doctors would prescribe.) I do remember that my skin would look weird after being out in the sun: it would have red spots surrounded by a thin white line (but only where I have limited sensation). I have always assumed that the blotches were due to bad blood circulation, but it could have been due to medication. I should go back out in the sun to see if that still happens. Trouble is, wearing shorts when you have a quad-tummy really doesn't look very attractive.
