Woah, this is a lot. Let me break it down lol.
Pee - I haven’t noticed any extreme reactions, then again I haven’t investigated in any form of detail.
Sauna - I have done this. It’s not fun. Causes me to sweat, and then I get super itchy.
Wet Skin - Yes, actually! My mom had me try that on both her and my dad. They didn’t get any reactions.
Cause - No clue.
Creams - Haven’t been prescribed any, but we but hydrocortisone on hives.
Diary - I did, for awhile. Specifically for this lol. We didn’t find any patterns.
Bloodwork - had it done lots of times, always been normal.
Supplements - I have not tried diets.
No problem, let me know if you have more questions!

Hello. I absolutely love your music, coming from a violinist that has played since kindergarten. Recently I have decided to continue playing the violin in college because I can’t live without music. Do you have any advice on how to make covers with little equipment?

Not related the temperature. I’ve tried all types of water: pool, town, city, well, ocean, river, distilled, lake, etc..

Lotion doesn’t seem to harm me. But I do consistently have dry skin unfortunately.

I have not done a DNA, but my mom has and I inherited my medical abnormalities from her. I will ask about that!

Not “afraid” per say, but wary. I accept my fate and shower, then suffer for a little while lol. I haven’t tried alcohol wipes, except for at the doctors (I think my skin went a little pink, but could be skin sensitivity) I have tried distilled, all types of water affect me. Also, I’m so sorry to hear about your allergy!! That doesn’t sound fun.

I don’t have any food allergies, so I’m not sure on that. Antihistamines didn’t work, but we’re looking into different things. I think it may be the H2O, because all different types of water trigger it.

I don’t think so, unless it makes me sweat more. Sweat = reaction.

Hmm, I will look into it. We think it may be puberty related, too.

Antihistamines stopped working, but we’re looking into different kinds, and an experimental shot.
