Whenever I started playing Star Wars Galaxies, my face has been acting strange. Everything on my face itches and everything burns. I dont know what it is, but it could be an allergic reaction to something. I doubt that its my 21 inch monitor because I had for years. Im confused, dont know if Star Wars Galaxies is causing this.

Stop playing, turn off your computer, and go outside in the sunlight. Maybe on your way to a doctor.

I really doubt this is anything monitor related. Go see a doctor.

There's a wonderful multiplayer game that came out a long time ago ... it's fun AND free.... it's called Life.

I'm guessing you're 14. How close am I?

:) I was close. Skin irritation can't be caused by video games. Talk to your parents and/or a doctor to find out what's going on. You may be getting headaches from the game.

A few days ago, I was helping my parents weed the house. I might of recieved it from that, but I'm still not sure. My mom is playing doctor and telling me that it will pass and its nothing. Honestly, I dont think she has any clue what she is talking about. I'm going to do some more research on this skin irritation.

You probably got some poison ivy or something from weeding the yard. If you actually think your mom doesn't know what she's talking about, and you think that SWG is causing it, you have some mental problems.

If it is poison oak/ivy, it'll go away in a week or two.

but you dont understand. My mom usually talks out of her butt. She thinks that she knows everything. I know i certainly dont. I think its from star wars galaxies b/c people have reported weird photosensitive seizures and other symptoms.

Used any lotions/creams on your face lately? Oily face? Have you tried washing with cold water and soap?

It's tension in your neck. You probably have muscle spasm's in your neck pressing on nerves from being in a certain position and being tense while you play your game. Go out and do some stretches and get a little excercise.
