What Causes Hives, Rashes On Legs, Thighs, Arms, Back, Waist Area?
Hi, I have been having hive for almost 3 months now...from Aug 23rd, I started prednisone, and been off from 10 days ago...the situation is much better, but every day I still have some rash on legs/thighs/arms/back/waist area, not too much, and it goes away in a few hours. not sure what happens inside of my body...
I can understand your concern for hives, rashes on legs, thighs, arms, back, waist area. I seems from your query you are suffering from "Urticaria".
Urticaria is a common condition caused by bursting of allergy producing cells known as "mast cells" due to certain aggravating factors present in the environment. As the chemical inside them is released it produces a rash which you have mentioned. There can be multiple factors producing this condition which are included in day to day life and some times it is really difficult to find one exact cause. In your case you are correlating it with exercises, hot climate,spicy food. So it is better to stay away from the offending factors.
The long term effective treatment for this is by oral anti histamine like loratadine under medical advise. It is one of the drug which is not having any side effects and can be taken for long term usage. Do not scratch or rub the skin as it can lead to further aggravation.
Do not take predinsone as a measure for treatment of hives as it can cause long term side effects. Hope these informations will help.
