Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are suffering from hives with rashes on the legs and arms which seems to be mainly due to systemic causes. It is very important to find out what exactly causing hives or what factor is responsible for their occurrence , because treatment depends upon the causative factor . As such hives are harmless but when they start interfering in vital activities of life then become a kind of medical emergency. Apply ice packs to body for itchiness and redness . The only treatment for hives is steroid therapy. So i would suggest you to consult dermatologist again and start treatment accordingly.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
