What Causes Large Raised Welts On Skin All Over Body?
My daughter has been playing tennis for the last 8 years.... She has always had sensitive skin.....however the last few days as it is getting warmer she has been breaking out with welts all over her body...... Benadryl takes care of it but it seems to be getting worse?

Your daughter seems to be having an excess of a chemical called Acetyl Choline in her skin which causes this picture to emerge after heavy physical exertion. The drug of choice for this condition is Hydroxyzine which is an anti allergic and most likely it should be available as an OTC product in your local pharmacy. Please also note other situations in which she gets this type of rash and after identification of those situations, avoid them
