Suggest Treatment For Hive Like Bumps On Thigh And Anus
Question: On Tuesday morning I woke up and had a break out in hives or bumps on my thigh and anus. I went to the ER and they said it was contact dermatitis. I got treatment or medication for it which seems to help a little. The hives come and go after a few hours then come back later the day. I also have chills. What could be causing the hives and chills? What can I do to get rid of them for good?
Brief Answer:
acute urticaria is most likely possibility
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I have read your query. I understand your concern.
As per details, it seems that you are suffering from a condition called urticaria. It is characterised by red colored itchy transient eruptions over body. It can be caused by allergy to recent infection, any food, seasonal change, drugs, pollen grains etc.
In your case, it is most likely due to infection. As chills point towards infection and most likely reason for chills with fever is Urinary tract infection .
I will advise you to get your blood sugar levels, thyroid profile, Absolute Eosinophil count, IgE levels, complete Hemogram and urine routine and microscopy done.
Till then, you may take antihistaminics like levocetrizine for symptomatic relief.
If any underlying cause is found, specific treatment would be given accordingly.
You should visit your doctor and discuss this with him so that he can order tests for you.
Take care.
