Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the pictures attached with the query.
It seems that you are having allergic angioedema. Angioedema are of two types, hereditary angioedema which is genetic and acquired angioedema. It is difficult to cure this condition because of the modifications in the genes of our body. But, it can be controlled if the preventive measures are followed; such as avoiding those things which can trigger an attack of allergy and angioedema. Some doctor suggest skin patch test (allergen test) to find the triggering allergens which can be avoided.
Right now you need oral anti allergics like fexofenadine and steroids to control the rashes that you are having now. Since all these are prescription only medicines, you need to consult a dermatologist for proper guidance.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
