What Causes A Recurring Red Itchy Patch On Skin?
Question: I am suffering from red patchy itching that keeps rotating. I mean it does not stay more than 24 hours in one place but has been there for more than 10 days. Blood test are all normal
Brief Answer:
Acute urticaria
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed acute urticaria.
It is an allergic condition.
You might be allergic to any food or any clothes which you are wearing.
Try to find out the cause.
You can take an antihistamine tablet like cetrizine one tablet daily in night for 5 days and apply fluticasone lotion twice daily for a week.
This should help you.
The medication is available over the counter.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
If you still have rashes you can upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
