I also have the same problem as the 2 women with heat ‘rashes’. I only started Bikram last week and have been 4 times, and would like to go at least 4 X per week. It’s been very hard but great and I’m starting to ‘get’ it. The only massive problem is the hives/rash that has shown up since I started. I’ve been told in the past that I have an allergy to the sun, so have to take hayfever tablets before going out, so I will try that for the next class (tomorrow) and am going to run out and buy some Selsun Blue. The spots/hives themselves are horrible – big, red, angry looking and blotches. I sweat like a demon during class and the spots/hives seem to appear most frequently in the places where my body touches the towel on the mat (but through my clothing?!) – In particular, my lower back, a bit on the front of my belly/chest, at my hairline and scalp and only one or two on my limbs. I was hoping that thess marks/bumps/hives were a sign of detox but they haven’t really decreased at all. Would love any further suggestions and will let you know if the hayfever tablets work, and/or the Selsun Blue!
