Broke Out With Bumps, Rashes On Neck, Torso. Gets Worse During The Day. No Other Symptoms. What Could It Be?

I broke out with very small bumps and rash patches on my neck and torso. I thought it might be hives even though it doesn't itch so I took an allergy pill. It seems that they are somewhat diminished when I first wake up in the morning but soon get worse during the day. There is no itching and it has just been about 5 days with this. I don't have a clue as to what this could be since I feel fine otherwise. No pain or fever.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi. Thanks for your query

Seems to be a case of Urticaria/Hives.

Many factors like Food and Food Additives, Drugs, Allergies, Infections, cold, heat, pressure, exercise, strong emotions, spicy food, water (aquagenic urticaria), sun(solar urticaria) etc have all been implicated in its causation.

Sometimes people who are prone to allergies and have dry skin can also develop it at the change of season.

If i were your treating doctor i would have asked you to take an oral antihistamine for 7 -10 days like cetrizine once OR twice daily.

take care
regards
