Hello Sir, I am having rashes appearing and disappearing throughout my body and head. I have been having this for the past 14 hours. The rashes are itchy and reddish. They become bigger with time and then disappear and I am getting a rash in a new place. The repeated places are elbow and neck.What is it?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The rash could be Urticaria. Urticaria is commonly due to food or drugs. Please try to find out the cause and avoid causative agent. You can apply Calamine lotion and take Levocetirizine tables for 2 weeks. If you do not get any improvement, do consult your Dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

You seem to have hives/ acute Urticaria.
I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion, to calm down the rashes. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g either Cetrizine tablet or Loratadine tablet once a day for a few days.
