Brief Answer:
hello dear.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having skin allergy.
There are many causes for skin allergy.
It may be due to clothes, food, dust or chemical.
Another possibility of insect bite.
Better to start this treatment for relief.
1. Wear cotton clothes.
2. Skin hygiene is must.
3. Avoid chemical use if you are using it.
4. Take antihistaminic tablets twice daily.
5. Take leukotriene receptor blocker in night.
6. Apply steroid cream to the skin lesion.
7. Take multivitamin containing zinc.
If not improving in 5 days we have to start oral steroids.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
