Itchy Skin Rash On Body. Redness, Welts, Puffiness. Help

hello... I have developed a strange skin rash that I've never had before. It's itchy at times, it comes and goes and its in completely random places on my body. These patches don't itch all the time but when they do it's for a few minutes, a strange welt will appear, swell, and then stop itching. Once the itching goes away, the swelling goes away and i'm left with redness and the welt becomes only slighty raised up. Not nearly as puffy as it becomes when it starts to itch, however, still raised slightly and redness. can you please help me?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Probably you are suffering from urticaria.

It appears in the form of itchy transient rash, as described by you.

Treatment with anti histamines may help you,
But important is to know the cause.

Anything including cloth, vegetables etc may cause this.

Try to find out the cause and eliminate it.

Please meet a dermatologist for final diagnosis and treatment

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
