Dear Dr, 3 Years ago i went away on my yearly holiday to Sicily. The year previous to that i got a blister for the first time so the following year i took piz buin with me for protection as i have never used sun cream and they were on offer biggest mistake of my life because my body got massive patches an awful rash and the worst swelling to my legs and face i was immediately taken to a doctor abroad who said it was an allergy to something and until i figured out what it was to i should stay out of the sun and take caution to what i eat now we ruled out food because i had not eaten anything new and we ruled out the sun because i have been to the same place every year for the past 3 years before this happened anyway after i got back to England it was weeks until the rash and swelling on my face went down however all around my knee i have been swollen i have seen 3 specialists none of which take me seriously they book me in for MRI which showed nothing so he said it is not that bad live with it and one said bursitis and gave me no medication i have tried anti inflammatorys heat packs, ice packs nothing has reduced the swelling i did some research on the piz buin cream and found it has something called helioplex and i am not the first person this has happened to but people have said there doctors took one look at them and gave them steroid cream , tablets or injections and it all completely dissapeared after a few weeks i have not been prescribed anything just constantly referred elsewhere. i am 22 years of age and have not left my house socially in over a year i am seeing another specialist Thursday and i am really disheartened and i do not want to be told to live with it.
