What Causes Red Rashes On The Body?
Question: I have hayfever during spring and summer. this started last summer. In the last six month's red rashes have also started to randomly appear. They dont last long and disapear within an hour. They have recently started to be raised too, Sometimes small dots, other times longer lines. They dont appear at all if it take antihistamines though. I dont take any medication.
Brief Answer:
Get a blood allergy profile done. Undergo desensitization thereafter
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I have checked the attached images and indeed the rashes seem to be due to allergic cause. Taking some antihistamine like cetirizine or benadryl (or possibly better ones like fexofenadine or loratidine which are prescription medicines) should help. You also should apply some emollient like calamine lotion or some moisturizer like aloe vera lotion.
It might take a few days to recover and so you need to be patient. However, since you have known history of allergies/hayfever, I would insist you to get a blood allergy profile done. The report can thereafter be used for appropriate densensitization which would relieve you of your symptoms.
I would await your response based on which I will guide you further. Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
