Prickly Heat?
x-no-archive:yes
Using a long-sleeved jersey and no sun-block on the arms sounds like the obvious thing to try. If that works OK then maybe try other sunblock preparations to see if there's one that doesn't irritate you. Maybe also try taking a shower before the ride. --Paul I tried using a sleeveless Coolmax shirt and no sun-block on the upper arms as it was slightly overcast and a bit cool after the thunderstorms the night before. I wound up with bright red upper arms, but no bumps--well, no new bumps. In fact, I think the old bumps have flattened out. And, when the red turns to tan, maybe my arms will all be one color. I am wondering if the tight band on the short sleeves contributed to this problem. I noticed that some other people were wearing jerseys with the band on the sleeves not being so constricted. OTOH, I liked wearing sleeveless, so maybe I will go out and buy a new sleeveless jersey. Thanks for the suggestions..... Pat in TX |
