Allergic reaction to what?

[Anonymous]

i had an allergic reaction today it was on my right thigh, I was at the park just sat in the grass then pushed my cousin on the swing and left and as I left my leg starts to itch so I itch it and it won't stop itching and it begins to burn I go back to the house to find my thigh red and bumpy and the area that's red and bumpy feels hot it was a burning feeling, I washed my legs off in the shower and went to look at my pants after the redness and bumps went down and there is a white ish thing where my allergic reaction on my thigh was and it looks almost like a powder how did that get on the inside of my pants and what could it be? and how can I prevent this any and all help would be appreciated.

It sounds like something that was just picked up from sitting in the grass. The white powder could be anything; pollen, stuff left over from bugs, stuff from plants, etc. Its hard to say. Give the area some breather, DON'T SCRATCH! I know that's hard but scratching it will cause it to spread.

It's from the grass. I had the same problem, especially if my skin was sweaty.

You can be allergic to many things and some times you can get that condition from a single hair follicle. Without knowing more it's hard to say. Your doctor, dermatologist or allergist is yopur best resource.

It sounds like something in the grass got up your pant leg temporarily.

Right now there is pollen everywhere -- it comes in all colors, red, green, white, etc.

You rubbed your thigh on a surface that was contaminated with fungus.
