Itchy Swollen Spots On The Body. Getting Treated With Steroids. How To Avoid This?
i have random spots on my body that begin to itch and swell. this causes a knot under the skin where it itch occurs and once the sweeling goes does it feel as if it left a bruise . The swelling occors in a range of different areas from my feet , to the back of my neck, my hands and i have even been to the emergancy for the left side of my tongue and eye lid sweeling. They treat me with a steriod and send me on my way. its becomeing very aggravating because its happening almost daily with no warning or change in diet or soap

you can think of any change in soap shampoo oil for application
oil for cooking creams ointment hair dyes anfd heena application
any medicines you have takren in recent past or taking now like paracetamol brufen calcium iron vitamins multivitamins and dietry suppliments are these can cause allergies
thinkand decide and withdraw that substance
use nontoxic soaps shampoo an cream
no use of mustard coconut walnut groundnut and almond oil not even soyabean oil
use olive for cooking and application
if you can contrl itch by allegra 120 mg bd and atarax 10 mg night then taper off steroids
locally you can apply calamine over affected area for controlling itch
take lot of water warm in the morning and night
