How To Get Rid Of Welts On Arms And Legs?
Hi. I have welts on my arms and legs. I had a couple on my stomach too. After I scratch them is when I notice they are there. They just show up one by one randomly. I haven't done anything new. I use the same soap shampoo laundry detergent and haven't eaten anything that I am allergic too that I know of. They are so itchy so I can't stop scratching them. They start to scab a little. What's up with me?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Urticaria or hives refers to the formation of these welts on the skin.
There are types of urticaria that can occur in response to the pressure on the skin or stroking the skin.
This may the case for you.
It is also possible that it may be related to a particular allergen.
You may want to consider allergy tests to see if there is a particular allergen that is causing the reaction so that your exposure can be reduced.
I hope this helps
