Solar Urtiaria ? Not Sure?

In august of 2005 I was in the hospital for an ovarian cyst that ruptured. The bloodwork showed an infection so I was prescribed the antibiotic cipro. After about 6 or 7 days of this medicine my lips swelled up and became really red and sore. It felt like a really bad sunburn. I don't remember if I was outside before that happened or not. My lips were so dry I couldn't stand it. I tried everything, but nothing seemed to help. After a couple of weeks they became infected. I finally went to the doctor and got a topical antibiotic and the infection cleared up within days. This whole ordeal lasted about 6 weeks because the swelling and redness would appear and disappear on its own. Also there were tiny red blisters all over my lips. By about october my lips cleared up and I had no problems all winter.

This past june, it was around the 17th, I layed out in my yard for about 20 minutes. I got a shower and again my lips swelled up and got red and blistered and a rash around the right side of my mouth. I had a shirt over my face the whole time. I get cold sores from time to time thats why I used the shirt. It took about a week to clear up. Since then every time I went out in the hot sun my lips would swell up. I found that keeping an ice pack on my lips clears them up in a few hours.

Here's the kicker: I went on vacation to the beach for a week and didn't have a single moments trouble. But when I came back home they swelled up again. I think its an allergy to trees or pollen or something buy my allergy doc thinks is solar urticaria. I am currently waiting for the results from my allergy tests.

Any ideas????

My lips are the only part of my body that is affected
