What Causes Pink Eyes, Hives On The Face And Legs?
My almost 7 year old daughter was diagnosed with pink eye in both eyes yesterday. It is a very mild case. She keeps getting hives on the face and some on her legs. It goes away with benedryl , but comes back hours later. Is there a virus that can cause pink eye and hives?

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pink eyes, hives on the face and legs . There are some factors like our environment , heat , cold , pressure and sun exposure ,which can act as trigger factor . Insect bite , pollen and some plants can also cause hives . The most important thing is to find the trigger factor or factory responsible for their occurrence . I would suggest you to give cold compresses to hives several times a day to prevent from swelling and itching and take over the counter antihistamine drug like benadryl. If symptoms still persist the consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may perform skin test and challenge to find out the trigger factor . Doctor may prescribe other steroid cream ( mometasone) , anti inflammatory drug or drugs that can suppress immune system . Herbal tea and aloe vera gel are also very helpful . Stay in cool and moist environment , also keep yourself hydrated .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
