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 Cholinergic urticaria. It is characterised by red colored itchy transient eruptions over body on doing physical activity.
In such cases, I prefer to advise a combination of levocetrizine and montelukast to my patients in night and fexofenadine in morning.
I would advise you to get your thyroid profile, Absolute Eosinophil count, IgE levels done.
Visit your doctor so that he can examine you and order tests for you.
You can share my opinion with him.
I hope it helps. Take care.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
