What Causes Itchy Rashes On The Body?

For the last week I have been breaking out in hives, all different parts of my body and at all different times. I take a benedryl and they do seem to go away. Before the actual hive appears the place where it is going to appear gets really itchy, I have learned not to scratch the itches as that makes the hive bigger. What could be causing this, I ve been checked multiple times over the years for allergies but have not been found to be allergic to anything.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

As per your query you have itchy rashes on body which seems to be due to allergic reaction to any environmental factors and it could be due to autoimmune causes as well. Need not to worry.

I would suggest you to apply

- Triple antibiotic ointment over it.

- Do cool compresses over it.

- Start taking anti allergics medications like Levocetrizine as it will stop making you itchy.

- Maintain complete cleanliness.

Visit dermatologist once and get it examined completely and go for allergen test to find out exact cause of your reaction.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
