Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
I would keep a possibility of urticaria/
hives. I would definitely advice that you visit a
dermatologist for a proper assessment of the rash.
Urticaria OR hives can occur due to various causes like(to name a few) infections(bacterial , viral, fungal), drugs, certain foods, cold temperature, in response to strong emotions, exercise, pressure (prolonged standing, sitting), in
autoimmune disorders like SLE, RA etc. A few cases have no underlying cause and are known as idiopathic urticaria.
I would advice you to get few basic lab tests like Hemogram, stool for ova/cyst, Urine routine, Chest Xray.
An oral antihistamine like
Fexofenadine OR
Loratadine once or twice daily for a week would be suitable. They are non-sedating and wont affect your alertness level.
take care
regards
