Why Do I Get Red Face And Hives Like Pattern On Leg After Shower Or Drinking Alcohol?

way I would expect, and know that this is a leading cause of may health problems. I
have always eaten a very balanced and low-calorie diet and engage in regular exercise.
My persistent belly fat also confuses my personal Pilates instructor. I had a two-hour
glucose tolerance test come back with elevated results, but my A1c1 was well within the
normal range, 4.7. This leads me to questions of— • Insulin resistance •Glucose tolerance versus A1c1. •Thyroid problems — My thyroid has been often tested, with no indication of hypo/hyperthyroidism. Yet, I have an extremely bad family history, with almost every XXXXXXX family member (my seniors) with hypothyroidism. Its obvious enlarged nature and correlating symptoms have been a cause of concern to most every medical practitioner I’ve encountered since toddlerhood. (My Grandma’s was removed because of goiter.) •Cortisol levels. • (and once again) Inflammation.
Thanx for posting your query on XXXXXXX
From your description, it appears that you could be having atopy. Atopy means that a person may be prone to developing hypersensitivity or allergy to an environmental antigen when exposed to it. In your case it appears to be to alcohol and ?warm water or some allergen in it. So far it does`nt seem to be very bothersome and you may not need any medicine. If it becomes bothersome you may need some antihistaminics or a short course of steroids depending on the severity. However, you may keep in mind that a person with atopy is prone to develop other allergic conditions like asthma, eczema, allergic rhinitis etc. You may get a blood test done for IgE levels which will help in establishing the diagnosis of atopy.
Consult a skin specialist for various fungal infections.
Abnormal GTT means that you have latent diabetes or you are a prediabetic. Though at present your blood levels and HbA1C are normal but you may develop diabetes during stressful conditions. You have to be under regular medical care and adopt a healthy life style like avoiding high carbohydrate diet, be physically active, manage your weight and consume high fibre diet which should include appropriate fruits, vegetables and nuts.
I do not think you have hypothyroidism at present but in view of the family history you will have to get your thyroid levels checked regularly.
Abdominal fat has to be managed by exercise and diet. You may consult a plastic surgeon for the option of surgically removing it.
I hope i have been able to answer your query.
Take care.
