For the last 4 yrs when i get to TB i develop a rash on my sides, feet, and arms. I bring medicene and even went to doctor at Crossroads and got a shot 2 yrs ago. Ruled out sun, laundry detergent,and most foods. Anyone ever hear of alergy to coconut or curry? Or is there a pollen unique to TB? Just got home from 8 days of sun in Negril and no problem...see you in Janurary and thanks for any ideas. The Mighty Quinn

Until you said you just spent 8 days in sun and were fine, I would have guessed Pityriasis/Tinea Versicolor, a fungus on the skin which usually appears when you get a tan and it blocks the skin below it making it look white compared to the tan skin.

Do you visit TB at the same time of the year each time? Was a different month than the Negril trip? It could be a seasonal allergy.

Always come to TB in Jan. or Feb....I am starting to think a seasonal allergy may be a possibility...anyone know what pollen in air then? Thanks Rasher.
