Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, For a while now I keep getting a red blotchy rash all over my chest. It only seems to occur when I eat hot food, I get nervous in a situation like interview for instance or if I drink alcohol but sometimes if I just change environment it can occur. It flares up for about 20 minutes then goes away. Are there any treatments I can take for this as it is really affecting me now. Thank you
All the triggers that you mentioned are situations where the body interprets as a condition of stress(hot food, Anxiety, Alcohol, Environment). The exact mechanism for a stress related rash or urticaria is still unknown. However anti-histaminics do help along with treatments that would lower your body's response to stress. These include relaxation techniques(You can try yoga and deep breathing) and incorporating exercise in your daily life as it would modulate your response to stress.
Thank you for your query.
