What Are The Causes And Treatment For Rashes?
HI,
Before I went to bed I had small red patches on my hip and when I woke up it has spread to spots on my back and stomach. My eye lids are also puffy and swollen. I am a teacher and one of my children had poison ivy, and also a dog that may have walked through poison ivy. My rash is not itchy and does not look like the pictures I have seen of the poison ivy rash.

Hello,
You seem to have got Hives. I suggest you take an oral antihistamine e.g. either cetirizine tablet or loratadine. You may also use a soothing lotion e.g. calamine lotion in case you again develop the rash.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kakkar S., Dermatologist
