Recurring Red Hot Rashes On Chest,legs & Back Intensified By Alcohol & With Pulsating Sensations Throughout The Body. Ra Factor Of 20.3. Should I Be Concerned?

I'm 21yrs old and I've been experiencing a red hot (non raised) rash on my chest, legs, back that comes and goes. Alcohol intensifies it. Whenever it happens I can feel heavy pulses in all parts of my body. For the past week I've been experiencing tenderness in my arms (mostly left) that radiates under my armpit and my elbows. I've gotten all sorts of labs done and the only thing my dr was worried about was a ra factor of 20.3 so I went to a ra specialist and she didn't think I had anything like that. I'm also experiencing swollen red bumps on my knuckles. Any feedback would be great!

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The first thing you are suffering is the utricaria, an allergic reaction to some thing like alcohol, food, clothes, wool, etc.
The raised R.A. factor is to be considered, to confirm it you get the R.A.factor repeated again, if positive get the E.S.R, and C reactive protein done to confirm it.
Avoid taking alcohol, potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken,and sea foods.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to have resistance against such things.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
