Sadie, a photo would be great and I will do the same and post it, we can compare!, I sympathise with having to cover up, I am going back to the gym (again!) next week and thinking about wearing long sleeves to cover my arms! I am not in any way put off vaping and it's a small price to pay to not smoke fags anymore, but I would like to find out if there is a certain flavouring/pg/vg that causes it for me.........especially before summer so I don't have to throw all my skirts and vest out!

But han you've been vaping since sept, wouldn't it have flared up really badly the first time you used it if you were sensitive to PG or VG?

sorry Alvo just noticed your question, when I started vaping I was trying every juice I could lay my hands on and now I am settled into several regulars that I use, I have upped and downed my pg/vg depending on the juice and how I prefer it so I guess I am getting alot more of whatever I am having a reaction to? this is all guess work, perhaps my shower gel makers have put something new in that I am allergic to.......it's so hard to tell, but it does seem alot of people get reactions to various things in juices.......I am going to try some experimenting by cutting juices out for a week at a time and see if that makes any difference

what do you vape han ? (lets compare) i vape green mint (health cabin mainly or dekang)
vanilla custard -homemade and a raspberry choc coconut from america.
i find the red spots are redder in the mornings when i get out of bed, admittingly i have an electric blanket on and i like it very warm in bed, i dont drink water but drink about 20+ coffee/tea a day

Bloody hell, Sadie, 20+ cups of tea or coffee a day! I drink 1 maybe 2, and that's enough to pop my eyeballs!
I have noticed that my scalp itches in the evenings, but I have put this down to the difference between temperatures inside and out. Maybe it's the PG (I have so far been immune to the usual PG reactions, but this could be one).
I will try more VG biased juice and see if that makes a difference - thanks for flagging this up, OP!

I vape Grants Vanilla Custard 50/50 mix and Vapology ry4 mixed with pixie juices cool pear or vapology raspberry.....I am pretty sure all vapology and pixie juice are 60/40.......I did change the GVC from 60/40 to 50/50 could have done anything? it seems so minor that I doubt it?
We have custard and raspberry in common? and also I don't drink water and drink rather alot of tea too! maybe it's the tea

This is worth looking at, though you need to skip a bit -
One of the medics says at one point that for health reasons "I avoid flavours that have the word 'custard' in them"
