What Causes Inexplicable Rashes On Body?
Question: I have developed these rashes on random areas of my body. There are a couple smaller ones on another arm and one leg. What is this and how should it be treated?
Brief Answer:
Acute urticaria
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query and photograph
You have developed acute urticaria.
It is an allergic condition.
Anything including food, cloth, change in climate, pollens etc can cause urticaria.
Treatment can be with oral anti histamines.
Steroids like prednisolone are also helpful but cannot be used for long.
I treat such cases with a sedating antihistamines like Benadryl in night and a non sedating antihistamines like fexofenadine in morning.
This combination gives good response in a week.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Thank you
