What Could Be A Hives Like Bumpy Rash With Itching, Occurring For A Week?
Question: The question is about a hives like bumpy rash with itching, occurring for a week. Any clue of what this could be ?
My wife was being treated for hypothyroidism, and developed a Hemorrhoid after a month on it and sought homeopathic remedy (Y-Lax which contains phenolphthalein and sulphur ) in addition to a regular doctor (magnesium sulphate dressing for 5 days and then Sitcom Forte euphorbia prostrata extract on second visit) .
The rash was noticed Monday ( y Lax started Sat and Sitcom Forte on Monday)
We have stopped Y Lax Thursday night , Sitcom Forte Fri night, consulted a dermatologist Fri morning and were given Allegra . The raised rash is there after stopping the medication. Allegra will start tomorrow, Sun morning.
