Hello Reshu,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:

1. I would like to know more about your complaints like - are they rashes or hives? Do they have any relation to sun exposure? Are they more troublesome at night or during day? Do you sweat a lot? Do you have a dry skin? Do you wear any specific jewellery in wrist and neck that may be causing allergies? Do you have any other allergies like food allergy, nose allergy or asthma?

Above answers would help me to know about your complaints better.

2. At present, I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist who will examine your lesions and identify what type of allergy do you have - urticaria or contact dermatitis or something else. Sometimes some vitamin deficiencies like niacin can also cause skin problems in sun exposed areas.

3. Were I treating you, I would suggest you to take an antihistamine like hydroxyzine for 30 days. I would also prescribe you a good multivitamin-multimineral containing especially vitamin B complex, vitamin E and zinc.

4. If you can correlate your symptoms to sun exposure, I would suggest you to apply a sunscreen lotion ( minimum SPF 15)at least 30 minutes before going into sun.

5. If you can correlate your symptoms to any specific jewellery, the best thing in my opinion would be to avoid wearing that particular jewellery. Common jewellery that can cause such symptoms usually contain nickel within them as a metal.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
