Brief Answer:
Urticaria
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
You might have developed urticaria.
It's an allergic reaction.
Any new drug or change in food or change in environment can be the cause.
Stop yeast rice and also discuss with your doctor to change your medication.
I treat such cases with tablet cetrizine daily in night for a week and local application of a mild steroid cream like desonide to be applied daily in night for a week.
This should relieve you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
