Hi doc. I have itchy red spots that look like bug bites that started growing from midday today. Last night i had a meal with seafood - this morning I had eggs with fish fingers - I grew two spots about two hours after breakfast. For supper I had crumbed hake and more spots have come out....what could it be? *scared*

It could be an allergic reaction to seafood that is causing hives. If you are having any wheezing, swelling in the face or throat, or difficultly breathing with this rash, get seen by a doctor immediately. Sometimes a very bad allergic reaction can result from repeated exposure to the thing causing the allergy. Benadryl might be helpful for the itching and spots and to prevent more from coming, but you need to avoid seafood in the future if this is the cause. Hope this helps.
