Possible Urticaria

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.

I understand your query and concern.

I have gone through your uploaded image as well.

This could be possible urticarial reaction,unrelated to the past history of grafting .

Hence you need be anxious of it.

All you need tab Desloratidine 1 tab daily for 5 days.

This drug has to be taken under strict medical prescription.

Benadryl Anti Itch patch is very good and you can continue it.

Post your further queries,if any.
Thank you.
