Protopic and hot tubs

Posted by Michelle on July 29, 2011 at 1:08pm
Anyone besides me notice when you use protopic you can't sit in a hot tub or hot bath without thinking a hot poker is branding your spots?

    AND this is going to sound even weirder.  If I drink red wine my spots burn, not any other type of alcohol just red wine.  I should add they only burn when I've been on a protopic regime.

      Haven't offered her wine yet!  ;)  I'll log that one away and ask her when she is older!

    Hi Becki,

    When I used protopic, those areas were sensitive to heat.  I noticed it most with sunlight through the car window.

    Yours truly,

    Interesting!  It is my daughter that has vit. and although I have not noticed that about her use of protopic, I have noticed that she LOVES hot baths.  In fact, I think they are too hot.  I have always wondered if there is some sort of odd connection or if it is just her!!  I'll have to ask her if her spots feel different when she takes a hot bath.  She uses protopic at night and in the morning.
