Brief Answer:
Likely Urticarial rashes

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for asking question with pictures.

I have read your query and reviewed pictures you uploaded.

These rashes are likely to be having acute urticaria or urticarial rashes which I would put as my first possibility in your mother's case.

It might be due to some allergic reaction but there is nothing to worry much since it can be fixed with oral and topical anti-allergic medications (antihistamines).

Also, let me know if your mother is having any itching or not.

Since she has already taken cetrizine tablet, I would suggest her to continue with oral antihistamine (cetrizine or levocetrizine 10 mg) three times daily for 2 to 3 days which are available over the counter. Another anti-allergic drug like Montelukast 10 mg can also be added but it would require prescription from some local doctor.

A topical soothing lotion (like calamine) would also be helpful symptomatically.

Wash the skin area gently using hydrogen peroxide and tea tree oil mix. It can also be helpful.

This kind of rashes might take 2 or 3 days to subside, so I would advise you to wait for at least 3 days.

But in case if there is no improvement even after that,then it would be advisable to see some nearby doctor who may order routine blood counts with ESR after careful inspection those rashes and can prescribe you appropriate treatment according to the underlying cause.

However,there is no need to worry as it generally disappears in a few days with just symptomatic treatment.

Hope this will help you.

Regards,

Dr.Sandip Kabra
