Brief Answer:
Possible dermographism and hyperprolactinemia...explained
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for contacting healthcare magic
the rashes which you are experiencing even after a mild scratch with even a cloth, can be DERMATOGRAPHIA which is a hypersensitive skin which shows signs of inflammation even on slightest injury or abrasion. This can be consulted with a dermatologist and as she has already been advised anti histaminic and steroids , the incidence is unlikely to be reduced but intensity shall be reduced for sure.
secondly ANOTHER SYMPTOM OF DISCHARGE FROM NIPPLES CAN BE DUE TO INCREASED PROLACTIN SECRETION . This is also known a hyperprolactinemia and needs to be evaluated with serum prolactin levels and also a mir brain TO RULE OUT ANY Micro-prolactinomas in the pituitary gland. Once ruled out , then the woman can be placed on dopamine agonists like bromocryptine tabs thrice a week for 3 weeks to reduce the prolactin levels.
It is suggested that you get your hormonal profile done first and a skin-pathergy test for dermographism and review with reports.
regards
