Prickly, Itchy Rash Outbreak On Arms, Legs, Torso At Night. Scabies Test Negative. Suggestions?

I have a rash/hive outbreak every night beginning around 6p.m. that presents itself on my arms, legs, and torso. It is extremely "prickly and itchy". The rash has been present for almost a year now with little relief from medication. I have been checked out for scabies; negative. Nothing has changed in my diet and nor in my bedding or day to day life. The doctors have not been able to come up with an answer. What is this??? Very frustrated!

Hi and thanks for the query.

It feel so sorry for what you have been experiencing over this period of time.

From your description of symptoms, it sounds more like an allergic reaction. It may be urticaria/allergic dermatitis. The fact that it is recurrent and always in the evening makes me wonder what changes go on in the evening that may favour this condition. Check well and see if there has been any new addition in your products that coincide with when this condition started, too.
Also, discuss this possibility with your doctor who will get more infection and conclude whether this is a possibility and consider the appropriate treatment.

I hope you find an everlasting solution to this problem soon.
Hope you also find this information helpful and please do come back next time if you have any worries.
