Rashes And Hives, Abdominal Cramping, Chest Pain And Delayed Periods. Had Got A Tattoo Recently. Suggestions

white18 year old female living in Washington recently having unprotected sex with boyfriend 2 months ago moved in with bf, and got 2 new tattoos (to add to 4 i had gotten the previous 5 months) all in the same week. Within the first cpuple weeks felt itchy &developed a rash went into the doctors& told me i had allergies prescribed antihistamine- worked well for ab. two weeks switched to organic sensitive laundry soap and watched what ate tried drinking more water. Then moved out of boyfriends house.noticed sort of felt better &finally started my menstrual cycle two weeks after moving i stayed back over at my boyfriends house again felt crazy itchy and was very stressed so i left. Last night drank 3 beers laid down 2 am woke up 4am hives all over chest &arms (had only changed my shirt for bed earlier into a shirt i wore at boyfriend) panicked took a benadryl showered w/ baby soap &drank a glass of water. fell asleep Today washed laundry in baby soap +few drops of lavender oil. Once i changed noticed got hives around waist lower stomach took 1 benadryl&stopped feeling AS itchy but didnt help much. Symptoms: Constipation followed by diarrhea (off and on for several months) Late/ missed menstrual cycle (always had a weird cycle. missed period for up to 3 months then bled dark brown blood for over a week) now experiencing yellowy/white discharge with a chemically scent (its not fishy) Rash 2 months(looks like clearing up now but was bad the last 2 months) (little red bumps secrete clear liquid itch like CRAZY spread all over bodygenerally in larger clusters on hands arms and feet with sometimes a small white crack or line that splits my skin open) Hives (a couple weeks or so after rash)(all over. after i itch bumps)(taken care of with two benadryl) lower back pain and side pain with lower abdominal pain randomly usually for a few days at a time for 2 months. (feels like cramps) general abdominal pain for several months Chest pain (since about 2009, but shooting pain and worse for last 2 months) Other info: My grandma is allergic to wheat,dairy, and gluten and i also believe i may be to, I know i have had problems with dairy since i was young. My grandfather died of a heart attack, and my father has heart problems now at age 35 I smoked cigarettes off and on for the last 4 years. smoked marijuana heavily for the last 5 years. I took 4-5 pregnancy tests right before i moved in with boyfriend but all were negative. I have joint, and bone problems (like scoliosis) My eating and sleeping schedule has been crazy and my depression/anxiety seems to be worsening. I do not have insurance, so I do not want to go in to the doctors again to pay $200 for them to tell me i have allergies again. I want to have some better ideas first before seeking medical attention. please help me. thank you

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

you might have developed acute urticaria.

It is an allergic condition.

Anything including food, cloth, change in climate, pollens etc can cause urticaria.

You are getting these rashes mainly in your boyfriend's house.

These must be some allergen which is causing this.

You need to find out the cause.

Treatment can be with oral anti histamines.

Steroids like prednisolone are also helpful but cannot be used for long.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.

you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
