Itchy/Burning Skin
Hi! I recently stayed @ Mohegan Sun's Hotel last thursday to friday & immediately after laying down in the bed i developed a severe itch/burn on my skin. There is no rash & I assumed it was an allergic reaction to the bed sheets/detergent/mattress. It's been about 5 days and the itchiness has pretty much disappeared but my arms & neck are now burning as if i had sunburn. Could this still be a lingering reaction? Thank you.

It doesn't seem to be allergy due to bed linen because allergy ll not develop immediately after the contact with the material. It ll take sometime like few hours. I think it was more of sunburn that you have got . It ll subside on its own. Apply calamine lotion frequently
