2. What methods will you use to determine the cause of my symptoms?
   
   
3. What are my treatment options?
   
   
4. Could my medications be causing my symptoms?
   
   
5. Does the allergy pose a danger to my overall health?
   
   
6. How long will it take for my rash to go away?
   
   
7. Should I expect to have similar reactions again in the future?
   
   
8. How can I prevent reactions to the sun/heat in the future?
   
   
9. If I wear sunscreen, is it safe to spend time in the sun?
   
   
10. Are my children more likely to develop sun or heat allergies because I have the condition?
