What Causes Itchy Bumps On The Body To Appear Intermittently?
Question: Hive like itchy bumps on body that disappear within 1 to 2 hours
Brief Answer:
Urticaria
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
These are likely to be urticaria. It is usually an allergic reaction. The causative agent can be anything that you come into contact, new clothes, new cosmetics, sprays, food items and the list may be long. If you notice that it is related to any of these agents, then the best solution is to avoid it if possible.
You may also find relief with an antihistamine tablet like Desloratidine taken once a day.
Do get back to me if you have further questions.
