Prickly Heat

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!

No. That wasn't an orgasm.

That was me, in pain, from prickly heat/ heat rash/ whatever this evil state is called!

I have super pale and super sensitive skin so I'm pretty used to getting heat rash. This week in the UK it has suddenly gotten really really humid and warm and now my arms ARE ON FIIIIIIIRE! The sudden change in weather (what is up with the weather?!) has caused my arms to break out bad times! (innit)

I usually suffer this particular afflication on my legs, but this time just my arms. Which is actually easier to deal with as I can wear Tshirts and keep my arms clothing-free, which looks horrendous but releaves the burning and itching! Yum!

Now I've chosen to share this because it is just under 2 months until I fly out to Japan. In August. The middle of summer. IT WILL BE SO FRICKIN' HOT AND HUMID!?! I have no idea how I will survive if I'm getting heat rash in the UK. THE UK!? Damn I'm pale. 

I now envisage myself stepping off the plane and immediately breaking out in a rash that will consume my entire body. Then the mosquitos will descend to finish me off! Yes. I'm terribly susceptible to insect bites as well as the heat... and the sun. I'm a vampire, okay!?!

Basically I think I'll be filling my suitcase with anti-bug spray, factor 50, sensitive skin sun cream and anti-allergy tablets!
